Add range scales to the control unit with the follow-
ing ranges:

Gamma Ray Spectra.

Plankton sample 9D was first analyzed,
unashed, on June 22, ashed and analyzed on June 23, and allowed
to decay until July 2, when it was again analyzed.
The results are shown in Table 4.
Both the gamma peaks
for 1131 (.32 and .66 Mev) and Ru!3 (.23 Mev) exhibited marked
reduction in intensity after ashing.
The I 131 peak, accounting
for most of the iodine activity (.32 Mev, 85 per cent), had
Gisappeared by July 2.
