b/These data are from island of Kabelle (no date from island of Rongelap for July 1956 survey).
of Rongelap is about one-fifth that of Kabelle.
General contamination of islend

¢/These are land crabs from island of Kabelle. The strontium-90 concentration is higher than from earlier surveys, which is
contrary to the plant activity as well as to the soil, and marine life data. It has been estimated that about one-tiird of the
intake of crab meat is from ocean crabs which have very little strontium-90 content.
