Atmospheric Ozone and Radioactive Fallout

Atmospheric Ozone & Radioactive Fallout - paper from 1960s citing mountains of research using radioactive fallout as tracers to track ozone peaks. Looks like the spring "peak" will be soon upon us in the northern hemisphere, watch for corresponding surface beta spikes.

Atmospheric nuclear testing

The research in that paper was done during the era of atmospheric nuclear weapons testing. During that time (the 1950s through the early 1960s), radioactive fission products were released into the atmosphere by hundreds of above-ground weapons tests and deposited over the entire globe over the course of years. That is the fallout that they correlate with ozone in that paper.

For a full year now, there have not been significant radioactive releases into the atmosphere from the Fukushima reactors. This is a very different situation from what they were studying.
