radionuclides.
Chemical and
radiochemical analyses of samples of a 24-hour ration of the
Rongelapese will also be investigated.
Analytical method development,

rapid processing methods for
sodium
from sea water,
water samples and further verifi-

Penetrating radiation
from an external source continues to
be one of our best research
tools.
The facilities at the
Laboratory of Radiation Biology are used by staff members and
graduate
students in the Laboratory to further their research.
The Laboratory has provided X-ray facilities to other re~-
search workers as follows.
During the fiscal year July
1,
1959 through June 30,
the Picker Deep Therapy X-ray machine
1960,
was used by departments
(other than the Laboratory of Radiation Biology) as listed in
the table.
