leach this down into the soll.
CONALDSON:
Is it complex and fixed?
It dcesn't leach to any degree,
It
stays pretty well fixed,
It's accumulated in the algae in that
upper layer, isn't it?
DONALDSON:
WOLFE;
end,
That is as that radioautograph shows,
Yes,
And the algae are only in about the upper
Below that it's apparently too dark.

VOLFE:
Maybe we can ask the same question about
10
man as we just did about other organisiis ,
il
studies could be done to show that they had this radiation
12
exposure, and so far it seems that the cesium-137 would re-
13
veal the exposure,
14
Studies do in two ways by nodules or ablation and the beta
15
burns, the scar are depignentation, or the nevi,
16
give some clues as to what may be looked for in animals or
17
plants?

concentrated in the tissue of birds or plants?

genetics has already been rentioned,
Cytogenetic studies do,
What mineral
‘The thyroid
Does this
For example, where are these radioactive isotopes
20
The cyto-
Does this give some clues from man who can be studied
21
in greater detail as to where you might look in other organ-
22
isms?

CONARD:
This is going backwards, isn't?
We're
2k
usually trying to extrapolate from animals to man and now
25
we're going backwards.

CONARD:

here,

about it.

You can do it both ways.
I suppose there would be some correlation
It would depend on the animal.
TAYLOR:
We hadn't thought
Is there any animal study that correlates

with the observation of malformations of human children that
32
were in the fetal atate two or three months or so when the
33
irradiaticn took place?
Is there any animal counterpart of
