Rainout
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rainout is fallout by rain (as the name suggests). The rainclouds of the rainout are often formed by the particles of a nuclear explosion itself and because of this, the decontamination of rainout is more difficult than "regular" fallout, especially if it was caused by a nuclear explosion in the Sea, because of the solulibility of the seawater salts.
A rainout can also refer to a sporting event that is canceled because of rain or inclement weather. For information regarding rainouts in baseball, see rainout (baseball).
