Country of Origin: Japan Abstract: The physical and chemical composition of radioactive ashes which fell on the fishermen of the Fukuryu Maru are discussed and a clinical study of its effects is presented. Many measurements of activity are made on ship board at various times. Estimated radiation received by the fishermen in a two-week stay on ship as 200 r. The hazards of contaminated tuna are discussed.; Major Descriptors: *HUMAN POPULATIONS -- BIOLOGICAL RADIATION EFFECTS; *NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS -- RADIATION HAZARDS Descriptors: ASHES; BIKINI; CHEMICAL COMPOSITION; CONTAMINATION; FALLOUT; MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE; PHYSICAL PROPERTIES; RADIATION DOSES; TUNA Broader Terms: ANIMALS; AQUATIC ORGANISMS; BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS; DOSES; EXPLOSIONS; FISHES; HAZARDS; HEALTH HAZARDS; ISLANDS; MARSHALL ISLANDS; MICRONESIA; OCEANIA; POPULATIONS; RADIATION EFFECTS; RESIDUES; SURVEILLANCE; VERTEBRATES Subject Categories: 560151* -- Radiation Effects on Animals -- Man 520302 -- Environment, Aquatic -- Radioactive Materials Monitoring & Transport -- Aquatic Ecosystems & Food Chains -- (-1987) 450200 -- Military Technology, Weaponry, & National Defense -- Nuclear Explosions* & Explosives 10/5/757 (Item 457 from file: 103) 00840643 EDB-82-015480 Title: Atomic energy in its repercussions on life and health (In French) Conference Title: Scientific conference Conference Location: Paris, France Conference Date: Source: L’Expansion Editeur Publication Date: 1956 (France) p 1-254 Document Type: Journal Article; Subfile: (Technical Language: French Journal Announcement: TIC Conference 1956 literature EDB8111 Information Center).

The topics discussed include the dangers inherent in atomic equipment, the radioactive effects of atomic explosions, a review of the analyses made in Japan of the radioactive ash from the March 1954 Bikini explosions, long distance propagation and characteristics of the radioactive particles emitted in atomic explosions, eventual influences of atomic explosions on evolution, radioactivity in air and rain, radioactive clouds, meteorological effects of atomic explosions, a general review of the biological effects of ionizing radiation, medical problems posed by the immediate effects of atomic explosions, cataracts received from explosions or research in atomic energy, atomic radiation and aquatic life, biological danger from powders emitting ..beta.. rays, effect of weak doses of radiation, ionizing radiation and the gases in atomic industry, and therapy for radiolesions.;
