Federal Radiation Council reported radiation fallout would be higher in 1963 than in 1962 and would deposit twice as much strontium-90 as in 1962 and four times as much as in 1961. Fallout would be "far short of figures which would cause concern or justify countermeasures," and would diminish in 1964 and 1965 if atmospheric testing was not resumed. (Grigg, Wash. Eve. Star, 6/1/63)
