No. 1. Publication Date: 1959 260-95 p. Journal Announcement: NSA13 Document Type: Journal Article Language: English The status of 82 Marshallese people from Rongelap Atoll is reviewed four years after their accidental exposure to significant amounts of fall-out radiation. The accident occurred after the detonation of a large thermonuclear device during experiments at Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Proving Grounds in March 1954. A description of the clinical status is preceded by a brief summary of the psst findings. At four years postexposure, the only remaining evidences of the initial radiation exposure are the lag in complete recovery of certain peripheral blood elements to the levels of a compsrison population, the remaining residua of the heta-ray lesions of the skin, and evidence of low levels of radioisotopes absorbed internally. Late effects of radiation exposure were not seen. 20 references. (C.H.) Descriptors: ACCIDENTS; BETA PARTICLES; BIBLIOGRAPHY; BIKINI; BLOOD.

Language: English Observations are presented on the condition of vegetation in the area of the Marshall Islands affected by fall-out from the 1954 Bikini hydrogen bomb test. Abnormal or pathological conditions were observed in a number of plant species, inereasing from islet to islet in the same order a$ the increase in fall-out intensity. Defoliation and die-back of twigs were conspicuous in two species on Eniwetok Islet. (C.H.)
