DISCUSSION
M, AVARGUES: Were any foeto-embryonic effects observed among
the Rongelap group? Ihave in mind specific anomalies in children irradiated and contaminated in utero.
R.A. CONARD: There were four children irradiated in utero, one in
the first trimester andthe othersin the second and third. None of these
children have shown any abnormalities. Unfortunately the products of
miscarriages and the stillbirths were not available for examination by
medical personnel and therefore we do not know whether there were any
abnormalities among them, We were unable, however, to detect any
differences on congenital anomalies between children born of exposed
parents and those born of unexposed parents.
