HLTPA (non-US Atomindex input). Country of Origin: United States Abstract: Three body burden measurements of the Bikini Island population were conducted from 1974 to 1978 at Bikini Island. During this time, the mean /sup 137/Cs body burden of the adult Bikini population increased by a factor of 20. This dramatic elevation of the body burden appears to be solely attributable to increased availability of locally grown food products, specifically coconuts and coconut plant products. In January 1979, 45% of the individuals that were whole body counted in April 1978 were recounted approx. 145 days after the Bikini Island population departed from Bikini Atoll. These results show that the adult population /sup 137/Cs body burden decreased by a factor of 2.9 between the April 1978 and January 1979 in vivo measurements. ; Major Descriptors: *ADULTS -- BODY BURDEN; *CESIUM 137 -- BODY BURDEN; *HUMAN POPULATIONS -- DOSE COMMITMENTS Descriptors: BIKINI; BODY COMPOSITION; CHILDREN; COBALT 60; COCONUT PALMS; COCONUTS; CROPS; DIET; EVALUATED DATA; EXPERIMENTAL DATA; FALLOUT DEPOSITS; POTASSIUM; POTASSIUM 40; TIME DEPENDENCE; WHOLE-BODY COUNTING Broader Terms: AGE GROUPS; ALKALI METAL ISOTOPES; ALKALI METALS; ANIMALS; BETA DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; BETA-MINUS DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; BETA-PLUS DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; CESIUM ISOTOPES; COBALT ISOTOPES; COUNTING TECHNIQUES; DATA; ELECTRON CAPTURE RADIOISOTOPES; ELEMENTS; FALLOUT; FOOD; FRUITS; INFORMATION; INTERMEDIATE MASS NUCLEI; INTERNAL CONVERSION RADIOISOTOPES; ISLANDS; ISOMERIC TRANSITION ISOTOPES; ISOTOPES; LIGHT NUCLEI; MAMMALS; MAN; MARSHALL ISLANDS; METALS; MICRONESIA; MINUTES LIVING RADIOISOTOPES; NUCLEI; NUMERICAL DATA; OCEANIA; ODD-EVEN NUCLEI; ODD-ODD NUCLEI; PLANTS; POPULATIONS; POTASSIUM ISOTOPES; PRIMATES; RADIOISOTOPES; TREES; VERTEBRATES; YEARS LIVING RADIOISOTOPES Subject Categories: 560171* Toxicology -- Man -INIS Subject Categories: -- Radiation Effects -- Nuclide Kinetics & (-1987) C21* -- Tissue Distribution, Toxicology & Removal of Radionuclides 10/5/807 00733681 Author(s): ¥Item 507 from file: EDB-81-041936 Tsunoda, R.T. 103) Metabolism, S oc ny = un Title: Magnetic-field-aligned characteristics of plasma bubbles in the nighttime equatorial ionosphere.
