Results and Discussion of Body Burden Estimation
Figure 69 shows some representative wholebody gamma-ray spectrographsobtained in the
1965 survey. The AEC team is seen to have a
spectrum not markedly different from the background spectrum exceptfor the natural ‘°K peak
and a trace of '*’Cs, whereas the Rongelapese
havesignificantly higher '**Cs peaks. Analysis of
the curves indicates that the *°Co valuesare 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 sur-
veys had disappeared by 1965.
.
Table 26 summarizes the whole-body counting
results, and the individual values are presented in
Appendix 17. Theresults of the urine radiochemical analyses are displayed in Table 27. Inspection
