Abstract: In May 1954 rains contained radioactivity up to 0.2 muc./liter.
The provisional permissible level of unknown radioisotopes in‘ H/sub 2/0
is given as 10/sup -7/ muc./ml for ..beta..- or ..gamma..-emitters. The
safety factor for these values is at least 100. From these values the
permissible level for foods was calculated as 0.22 muc./day. Food
plants tested ranged 0 to 1.25 muc./10g dry matter. It is concluded
that serious radioactive contamination of plants was probable.;

Abstract: Crop samples taken between June and October 1954 were analyzed
for radioactivity. Rare earth elements contributed the greater part of
the activity.
Polished rice showed no activity.;
