Zusammenfassung:The path was determined for the radioactive cloud from the accident on October 10, 1957, at Windscale No. 1 Atomic Pile. The influence of meteorological conditions is discussed. The concentration of iodine131 in the air was measured at a number of sampling points. Data are tabulated on iodine- 131 dosage levels at various locations in Great Britain and throughout Europe.
