(Fosberg, the Iong-tennedltorof
the Atoll Research Bulletin,
accompanied Conard and the Brookhaven team d~e~annual
!%rshalls survey after the “Bravo” test. When he noticed abno~~
vegetation patterns as he flew over Rongolap Atoll- and which he
later confirmed in a field study--he speculated that these were
caused by the fallout from “Bravo.” When he tried to publish his
findings, Conard attempted to suppress his article on radiationdamaged plants in the Marshalls. After having his article rejected
by Science, Fosberg had it published In Nature in 1959. He maintains
tha-d
tried to cover up Information about the fallout damage
from “Bravo.” Fosberg says he would like to be included in an
--—-independent
survey of radiation damage in the Marshalls.
