HOUSE JOURNAL -- 16th pay

stored in her body. Comparing with the inhabitants of Kili
Island, “Sr is counted & times to 20 times as much hich

and
Cs is 10 times an much as high in her’body.
And the
quantity of these elements in body had ingyeas:d from 1967

to 1969, of which I am very worried.

As

“Sr 15 stored mostly

dn bone, it is thinkable that it is some related cause to
sterility.
l37es is accumulated in muscle.
Anyway both
el@ments contain strony radioactivity, so they can surely effect
to human beings.
I am afraid if she is discouraged too much
when she is told the fact.
Dear Mr. Ataji Balos, I haope you
encourage her not to be distressed spiritually.
I recommend
her to live on Majuro but not on Rongelap, because she had

better not to eat anymore the food containing radioactivity.

*I hope all of them will recover their fine health as quickly

as possible.

‘I am extremely sorry that I could not stay in your place

and give them medical treatment."
