20 fold for strontium??,

was readily detected in samples from the March
1958 medical survey.
The estimated mean body burden at equilibrium for cesium! 3? is about 1.5
microcuries or about 1/6 of the tolerance recommended by the International
Commission for Radiological Protection for non-industrial populations.
For
strontiun?? the mean body burden of the exposed Rongelap group in March 1958 was
estimated to be two millimicrocuries.
This is about nine percent of the expected
equilibrium value of 23 millimicrocuries.
is about 1/5 of tolerance.
The equilibrated strontium”? burden
The estimated mean body burden of eine? for
Rongelap subjects in March 1958 is about 85 percent of the equilibration value
of ©0.€ microcuries and the equilibration value is 1/70 of tolerance.
