The results of marine biological investigations conducted at the Eniwetok
Test Site since 1952 are summarized. Radioisotopes introduced into the sea
from the tests at various times since then include fission products and

other radioisotopes

(U/sup 237/, Np/sup 239/, Mn/sup 54/,Fe/sup

55,59/,Co/sup 57,58,60/,2Zn/sup 65/ ,and W/sup 185/). taken 4 days to 6
weeks after contamination are reported and the distribution of the
radioactivity between plankton and water is given. Grazing fishes contained
Zn/sup 65/, Fe/sup 55/, Co/sup 57,58,60/,and Mn/sup 54/. Carnivorous fishes

contained mostly Fe/sup 55/ and Zn/sup 65/.

Journal Announcement: NSA15
Document Type: Report
Language: English

For correlation with radiation-injury data obtained at Bikini,

experiments were conducted on the x-ray dose for whole-body exposure of

swine to kill 50% of exposed animals within 30 days

Groups of eight

(four male and four female)

(LD /sub 50/30/).

healthy hybrid swine were

exposed using a 1000-kv 3-ma machine. A value of 275 r was obtained.
