For
Strontium’© the mean body burden of the exposed Rongelap group in March 195€ was
estimated to be two millimicrocuries.
This is about nine percent of the expected
ecuilibrium value of 23 millimicrocuries.

The equilibrated strontium?” burden
The estimated mean body burden of nine’? for
Rongelap subjects in March 1958 is about &5 percent of the equilibration value
of C.C microcuries and the equilibration value is 1/70 of tolerance.
