THE CYTOGENETIC EFFECTS OF RADIATION EXPOSURE ON SPERMATOGENESIS IN MONKEYS
;
Presents the results of cytological analysis of monkey testes two years after
exposure to a dose of 150-450 r. Extensive damage to the spermatogenesis was
found. The frequency of chromosome rearrangements in mammals considerably
exceeds that in Drosophila after exposure to the same dose, being 65% and 1.6%
after 500 r respectively.

UNESCO/FAO/WHO REPORT ON SEA AND OCEAN DISPOSAL OF RADIOACTIVE WASTES, INCLUDING APPENDICES A, B, AND C
Summarizes contributions made by different authorities.
Appendix A. R. Revelle and M. B. Schaefer. General considerations concerning the ocean as a receptacle for artificially radioactive materials.
Contains general account of the processes in the oceans and indicates the
necessity of research on certain basic problems which would enable prediction
of the consequences of the disposal of large quantities of radioactive material
at sea.
Recommends measures of an international character in order to assure safe
liquidation of atomic wastes.
Appendix B. Report prepared by FAO and WHO. Discusses the questions:
1. The geochemical cycle of various elements between the water and the
sediments.
2. The affinities of the various species of organisms in the oceansfor different elements which have radioactive isotopes.
3. The possible rate and distance of vertical and horizontal transport of
radioactive isotopes by marine organisms.
4. The distribution, abundance, and rate of growth of the populations in the
oceans.
Appendix C. Abstracts of eight other contributions to the report on sea and
ocean disposal of radioactive wastes.
