According to the Public Health Service, which checks Pan Am's planes, they are already ten times as radioactive as before the Russian tests started. The radioactive material does not cling to smooth, clean surfaces. It nestles in places where the air stream makes abrupt turns. Oily spots, which are sometimes unavoidable, catch the hot particles, which also...
