"Recent Advances - S.P. Univ. of Washington, Seattle Publication Date: 1961 1363-7 p. Publ: University of Toronto Press Journal Announcement: NSA17 Document Type: Book Analytic Language: English Tomato and squash plants were grown in greenhouse pot cultures using soil from Rongelap Atoll, which received faliout contamination in 1954. The treatments involved various combinations of N, P, and K. All fertilizer treatments markedly reduced the content of Cs-137 in the tissue. Also reported are the results of a field experiment on Rongelap Island in which fertilization with KCl at least temporarily reduced the content of Cs-137 in a native grass. Potassium and Cs-137 contents of foliar samples of several woody species collected on Rongelap Island are also included. In the most common pattern, K and Cs-137 contents of the upper foilage were higher than those of the lower leaves, but one species consistently showed higher K but lower Cs-137 in the upper foilage. Low K status of the soil and differences in mobility within the plant may explain these patterns.

Brookhaven National Lab., Publication Date: May 1962 Upton, Primary Report No.: BNL-727 Journal Announcement: NSA16 Document Type: Report Language: English Contract No.: AT (30-2) -GEN-16 L.M.; Cohn, S.; Sutow, W.W.; N.Y. 93 p. ; Results of a medical survey of the people of Rongelap in the Marshall lslands, carried out in March 1961, 7 years after the accident, are presented. A total of 267 people was examined, most of them on Rongelap Island and some at Kwajalein and Majuro Atolls. Physical examinations 5003621 showed no acute illnesses present nor any diseases which could be directly associated with radiation effects. However, lt was noted that several of the older people, particularly in the exposed group, were becoming quite feeble and helpless. Residual skin changes in areas previously showing lesions from fall-out were present with certainty in about 10 people. Dental examinations revealed no differences between the exposed and unexposed group. Examinations for the detection of such late effects of radiation as cancer and leukemia revealed no evidence of malignancies in any of the people, exposed or unexposed. Results of growth and development in children and hematological studies are also given. (P.C.H.)
