I have a somewhat technical question that was raised by a student.  Does anyone
know how sensitive color film stock is (or was) to ambient nuclear radition
or where I could find such information?
 
The question was occasioned by discussion of nuclear testing in the St. George,
Utah area during the 1950s. This is the area where the notorious John Wayne
as Genghis Khan film, THE CONQUERER, was filmed.  The student wondered if
traces of radition from fallout might somehow be visible on the film stock.
