After 8'/. years and 10 years, ’Cs- and °Sr content in the urine of the
fisherraen revealed no significant increase. At the same time the results cf
whole body counting showed nosignificant difference between fishermen and
controls.
Thus, the external irradiation seemed to play an impotant role in early
effects.

The integrated dose to the thyroid from *'I was inferred as about 20 to
120 rads from external countings of radioactivity in the thyroid region during
the 4 to 7 weeks after the initial exposure.
Significant amounts of radioactivity were found in the urine samples
collected at about 4 weeks after the explosion. The radioactivity decreased
