Univ. of Washington, Seattle Publication Date: 1959 1976-89 p. Publ: Joint Committee on Atomic Energy Journal Announcement: NSA14 Document Type: Book Analytic Language: English The widespread use of nuclear energy for peaceful or military purposes necessitates studies to determine the effects of radioactive contamination upon the oceans and the life therein. The effects of local fall-out, or fall-out occurring during the first two days following the detonation of a nuclear device and within a few hundred miles of ground zero, on the abundance of fission products and the radioisotopic composition of plankton, algae, clams, and fish are discussed. Data from studies in the vicinity of the Eniwetck test site are tabulated and discussed. Recommendations are included for a national policy for regulation of the introduction of radioactive materials in the oceans. (C.H.)

Note: Decl. with deletions Sept. 15, CASTLE 1959; Project 2.5a of OPERATION Journal Announcement: NSA14 Availability: NTIS Document Type: Report Language: English Data are summarized on the distribution and intensity of fall-out from Operation Castle. The data were collected at land stations, anchored lagoon stations, and free-floating sea stations located throughout the Eniwetok Proving Grounds. Characteristics of fall-out, gamma dose, and rate of arrival are discussed. (C.H.)

FALLOUT FROM NUCLEAR WEAPONS TESTS. HEARINGS BEFORE THE SPECIAL SUBCOMMITTEE ON RADIATION OF WHE JOINT COMMITTEE ON ATOMIC ENERGY, CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES, EIGHTY-SIXTH CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION ON FALLOUT FROM NUCLEAR WEAPONS TESTS, MAY 5,6,7, Availability: GPO Document Type: Book Analytic Language: English Following the detonation of a thermonuclear device at the Pacific Test Site on March 1, 1954, 239 Marshallese people were exposed to sjgnificant levels of gamma radiation from fall-out. Estimated total exposures ranged from 175r on Rongelap to 14r on Utirik. These populations were evacuated to Kwajalein for decontamination and care. During the two days of fall-out exposure before evacuation was completed, the Marshallese also received
