Results and Discussion of Sody Burden Estimation
Figure 69 shows some representative whole-
= eae
body gamma-ray spectrographsobtainedin the
1965 survey. The AEC team is seen to have a
spectrum not markedly different from the back-
ground spectrum except for the natural *°K peak
and a trace of '*’Cs, whereas the Rongelapese
havesignificantly higher '°’Cs peaks. Analysis of
the curves indicates that the °°Co values are also
detectable in many of the Rongelapese. As had
been anticipated on the basis ofits relatively short
physical half-time, the *°Zn seen in previous surveys had disappeared by 1965.
Table 26 summarizes the whole-body counting
results, and the individual values are presented in
Appendix 17. The results of the urine radiochemical analyses are displayed in Table 27. Inspection
