G/R.13

NOTE BY NEW ZEALAND
Gives brief notes in reply to the questions contained in individual paragraphs

of annexes to letter PO 131/224 of 9 April 1956 (Annexes derived from G/R.10).
Other sections describe: measurements of radioactivity (only radon found) collected from air at Wellington by filter and by electrostatic precipitator February
1953 ~— May 1956, also by an impactor method in 1953 and in rain water on certain
dates November 1955-—May 1956; results of measurements of total beta activities
of fallout by sticky paper method May —July 1956.

G/R.107

NEW ZEALAND REPORT TO U. N. SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE ON ATOMIC
RADIATION: EFFECTS OF ATOMIC RADIATION MEASURED IN NEW
ZEALAND TO 31 JULY 1957
A set of notes on the current status of various programs in New Zealand within
the field of interest of the Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation, including preliminary measurementof radioactive fallout, C' activity airborne, natural and artificial radioactivity, and occupational gonad exposures.

G/R.185

LETTER OF DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, DOMINION X-RAY AND RADIUM
LABORATORY, CHRIST CHURCH, NEW ZEALAND
Contains: (1) Description of radiation protection measures in New Zealand;
(2) Results of routine monitoring of radiation workers; (3) Preliminary results
of statistical study on genetically significant gonad dose from X-ray diagnosis.

G/R.14

REPORT OF 3 PARTS
Suggests taurine biochemistry and lens opacities as biological indicators for
low doses. Gives notes on disposal of small amounts of radioactive wastes.

Describes and gives results of analyses by pot method in 1956 of total beta

activity due to fallout on ground, in air, in drinking water, and accumulated in

snow falls. Includes someanalyses for Sr*?,

G/R.92

RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT IN NORWAY
Contains information on methods and results of measurements of fallout in

Norway.

G/R.106

INFORMATION ON RADIOLOGICAL DATA
Summarytables on radiological data in Norway with an extensive set of data
on x-ray and natural radiation exposures.

G/R.106
(Add.1)

Correction to above report.

G/R.111

ON THE DEPOSITION OF NUCLEAR BOMB DEBRIS IN RELATION TO AIR
CONCENTRATION
Studies the relation between the deposition of fallout and the airborne activity.
It appears that in 1956-1957 the fallout in the Oslo area was roughly proportional
to the product of precipitation and airborne activity at ground level.

G/R.112

RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT IN NORWAY UP TO AUGUST 1957
Gives the results of measurement of fallout materials in air, precipitations,
water, and other samples. Measurement of airborne activity at high altitudes
are included. Sr® values are computed from total @ activity, a small number of
samples having been checked by chemical analysis. Samples of water, milk, and
urine have been analyzed for I'*!,

G/R.113

RADIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF FALLOUT IN NORWAY

Describes the methods used in Norway for determination of Sr*°, Cs!8", and

143! and contains data of Sr®* and Cs" activities in water and milk and I! in
milk, in the period February —June 1957.
