YEARS AFTER EXPOSURE TO FALLOUT RADIATION.

This report concerns the medical follow-up survey of 82
Marshallese people two years after exposure to fallout
Fadisticn. © Rongelap Island, 6+ people and on
Ailingnae, 18 people were exposed tc the radiation on
March 1, 19%, after an experimental detonation of a
nuclear device some 100 miles away. Initial and follow
up studies on these people six months and one year after
exposure have been reported.

CRITERIA FOR ESTABLISHING SHORT TERM PERMISSIBLE INGES-~
TION OF FALLOUT MATERIAL.
the

(1957).
The criteria for establishing permissible ingestion of
Padiouctive fallout material under emergency conditions
for several weeks following a nuclear detonation are
a
dependent primarily on exposures (1) to the gastronine
testinal tract from the gross fission product activity.
(2) to the thyroid from“the isotopes of iodine, and (35
to bone, principally from strontium-90-yttrium-90,
strontium-89, and barium-l40-lanthanum-140.
Data on
these effects are presented and their biological signif-~
icance is discussed. Some of the possible effects are
summarized in a table and discussed in terms of permissible intake. Rules are suggested by which the least
contaminated foods are used first, and preference in
their use is given to children. If the degree of contamination of an area is such that the external gamma
exposure would permit normal and continuous occupancy
after a fallout, the internal hazard would not deny it.
