exists and persists in the marine environment.
It is the dominant
anthropogenic radionuclide in the liver of some pelagic fish from
Bikini and Enewetak Atolls and is found concentrated in other tissues
and organs of all fish analyzed. Dose to man from /sup 113m/Cd
ingestion is being assessed at the Marshall Islands and should be done
at any other global site where contamination by this radionuclide is
suspected in the aquatic environment. ;

Abstract: This report concerns the Marshallese and Americans accidentally
exposed to radiation from fallout following the explosion of March 1,
1954, and includes a discussion of radiation injury in the human being.
Radiation surveys of the areas revealed injurious radiation levels on
inhabited atolls and evacuation was ordered immediately. The degree of
radiation injury was assessed as quickly as possible, and appropriate
care and study of the injured was instituted without delay. The initial
data have been supplemented by field surveys 6 and 24 months after the
original investigation. The results of this work are summarized.;
