in this group were similar to those in the exposed
Rongelap group. Appendix 9 summarizes the
Ailingnae Population
Utirik Population
The mean blood counts in the 14 Ailingnae
people at 11 years were about the sameasin the
unexposed comparison population, except that
mean leukocyte counts and differential counts not
very different from those of the 1l-year survey.
Ailingnae counts since 1954.
The Utirik population, examined in 1966, had
very different from those of 3 years previously. No
platelet levels were higher. At 12 years the counts
