prediction of crater radius by this method is believed to be larger than a
factor of 2.

A number of individuals received measurable overexposures to radiation
from a critical excursion in a Pu processing plant. Details of pathological
findings are presented for two individuals exposed to doses of 130 rads and
35 rads of primarily
gamma
exposure. The only significant findings in
both cases consisted of alterations in the blood counts. Findings are
compared with changes observed in the Rongelap natives and Oak Ridge
workers exposed to high level radiation doses. (C.H.)

Fifteen persons exposed to the atomic bomb in Hiroshima and 18 exposed to
fall-out contamination in the Bikini area were examined for
spermatogenesis. Three of the 15 Hiroshima cases showed aspermia and were
believed not to have recovered, but all of the 18 Bikini cases showed
complete recovery of spermatogenesis. Moat of the Bikini cases recovered in
9 to 20 months, but those which received 500 to 600 r of radiation took 30
months to recover. The physicochemical character of the sperm showed no
