Abstract: The results of the medical and radiological surveys of the
Marshall Islands following the thermonuclear test at Eniwetok, March 1,
1954, are presented. In addition to an external gamma radiation survey,
the gross activity of land plants, marine organisms and birds, soils,
and water was measured. The results of radiochemical analyses of
various biological materials are given, and studies of internal
contamination of animals, residual activity in the Pacific Ocean, and
medical status of the Rongelapese are described.;
