The mean values for 905,

diet items at Bikini Atoll in 1967 were given in the Radiological
Report on Bikini Atoll by Gustafson in 1968, and are listed in
Table 1 with the average values determined from the 1968 samples.
Three hundred fourteen-day 74Min and 245-day OF on have been |

The 1967 values for fish include reef fish and troll-caught
