Abstract
DURING 1964, monthly samples of rain-water have been collected on the roof of the Laboratory of the Government Chemist, Cornwall House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.1, and analysed for the presence of various fission products. This programme was a continuation of the rain-water sampling and radiochemical analysis previously performed at Clement's Inn Passage, Strand, London, W.C.2, during September 1961–December 1963 (ref. 1). The new sampling site is approximately 0.6 miles 15deg; E. of S. away from the old one. Analytical results for samples taken at both sites during November–December 1963 showed a good measurement of agreement1. This agreement indicated that the continuity of the radiochemical analyses of London rain-water was undisturbed by the change of site.
