ba ty The Center for Disease Control has made measurements on 16 of the more likely candidates for inhalation that took part in Shot SMOKY (1957). No activity in excess of typical background levels found in men not exposed to weapons test was detected. The exams were performed by the Center for Human Radiobiology at Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago. Additionally, an extensive autopsy was performed on one of the Shot SMOKY participants who died. The individual was diagnosed as having acute mylocytic leukemia and was awarded compensation by the VA. Analysis of pathological specimens did not reveal radioactive isotopes in excess of the general background level found in all individuals.
