Abstract
THE collection of bulk samples for the assay of radioactivity in rainwater involves the handling and preparation of large volumes of water. The need to reduce this work, together with a desire to achieve greater sensitivity and more specific data on the distribution of radionuclides in rainwater, has led to the development of the following method of collecting rainwater.
