Country of Origin: United States Abstract: Reported plutonium levels in fish from both Kwajalein and Enewetak lagoons suggest that Kwajalein Lagoon contains significantly more plutonium in its environment than would be expected from worldwide fallout levels alone, although quantities of plutonium greater than fallout concentrations have not been detected in the lagoon water. If there is no reason to reject the published fish data, then individuals on Kwajalein Atoll who supplement their diet with foods from the local Marine environment may have plutonium body burdens similar to the low levels predicted for individuals on similar diets at Enewetak Atoll. ; Major Descriptors: *FISHES -- RADIOACTIVITY; *PLUTONIUM 239 -é RADIOECOLOGICAL CONCENTRATION; *PLUTONIUM 240 -- RADIOECOLOGICAL CONCENTRATION Descriptors: DIET; ENIWETOK; FALLOUT; LAKES; MARSHALL ISLANDS; RADIOECOLOGY Broader Terms: ACTINIDE ISOTOPES; ACTINIDE NUCLEI; ALPHA DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; ANIMALS; AQUATIC ORGANISMS; ECOLOGICAL CONCENTRATION; ECOLOGY; EVEN-EVEN NUCLEI; EVEN-ODD NUCLEI; HEAVY NUCLEI; ISLANDS; ISOTOPES; MARSHALL ISLANDS; NUCLEI; PLUTONIUM ISOTOPES; RADIOISOTOPES; SURFACE WATERS; VERTEBRATES; YEARS LIVING RADIOISOTOPES Subject Categories: 520302* -- Environment, Aquatic -- Radioactive Materials Monitoring & Transport -- Aquatic Ecosystems & Food Chains -- (-1987) INIS Subject Categories: 10/5/987 00182968 Title: B32* -- Water (Item 687 from file: 103) AIX-07~-262902; EDB-77-020486 Twenty-year-clinical history of victims of radioactive fallout in Bikini Author(s): Kumatori, (Japan) ) Source: Iden T.

The estimate of exposure dosage and general clinical findings, chromosome, such as skin damage, blood dyscrasia, abnormal the physical improvement and so forth were described.; Major Descriptors: *FALLOUT -- RADIATION HAZARDS; *HUMAN POPULATIONS -DELAYED RADIATION EFFECTS Descriptors: BIKINI; BLOOD FORMATION; GENETIC RADIATION EFFECTS; NUCLEAR WEAPONS; RADIATION DOSES; RADIODERMATITIS Broader Terms: BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS; BIOLOGICAL RADIATION EFFECTS; DERMATITIS ; DISEASES; DOSES; GENETIC EFFECTS; HAZARDS; HEALTH HAZARDS; INJURIES; ISLANDS; LOCAL RADIATION EFFECTS; MARSHALL ISLANDS; POPULATIONS; RADIATION EFFECTS; RADIATION INJURIES; SKIN DISEASES; WEAPONS Subject Categories: 560151* -- Radiation Effects on Animals -- Man INIS Subject Categories: C15* -- Effects of External Radiation on Man
