-lile In this table the plus or . deviation. minus values are based on standard For the purpose of comparing the radioactivity of samples at the test site with islands, values for Bikini samples from the "off-site" Island have been included in Table 2. Radioisotopic Composition The results of the semiquantitative analyses of gamma spectra of samples collected in 1956 and 1958 are given in Appendix Table L; results of quantitative analyses for some of the 1958 samples are given in Table 3. The latter table also includes the results of the sr?° analyses. The samples | were not analyzed immediately after collection; consequently the short-lived radioisotopes which might have been present at the time of collection are not included in the results. Department DISCUSSION ce Historian’s Offi ARCHIVES The highest levels of gross beta radioactivity found in samples of algae, cucumber muscle from Ujelang, Atolls miles of Energy fishliver and muscle, Wotho, were andsea Utirik and Rongerik (Table 2), which are only one hundred to three hundred from the test site; however, and milk were low, the levels in coconut meat even at these atolls. Theradioactivity of similar samples from the outlying atolls and islands of
