Abstract: In three out of twenty-three flights at 6000 meters over France
in July 1946, an unknown radioactive material with a half-life of 25 +5 h was detected. The average concentration was 0.013 x 10/sup -16/
curies/cm/sup 3/ radio equivalent. The first detection was on July 20,
1946, twenty days after the first explosion at Bikini. Similar material
was detected in six out of fifteen flights in July 1948, the first on
July 2, seventy-five days after the Eniwetok test.;

Abstract: A collection of reports on investigation on No. 5 Fukuryu Maru, a
fishing ship which was in the vicinity of the Bikini atoll when nuclear
detonation occurred on March 1, 1954. The radiation dosage rate of
contamination observed for combined ..beta..- and ..gamma..-radiation
at every part of the ship on March 19, April 21, and May 16 is
recorded. The average value of total ..gamma..-dosage for the crew was
supposed to lie between 200 and 500 r.;
