meeting of the International Atomic Agency,
November 16-21,
1959, and was incorporated into the proceedings of that meeting.
Analyses of plant,
fish and invertebrate samples selected at
several islands some distance from the Eniwetok Test Site from
1954-1958 were completed during the fiscal year 1959-1960.
The results of these analyses are being published as one of the
UWFL reports.
A study involving the recovery of land plants
which were
exposed to chronic doses of radiation at the Eniwetok Test Site
during 1954-55 has also been completed and is being published
under the title,
"The growth and radioactivity of the land plants
at Eniwetok Atoll,
B.
1954-55."

The period July to August,
Held
1959 was devoted to
a continuation
of radiochemical and chemical and physical analyses of samples
collected on previous field trips,
as well as to the preparation
for the field trip of September 1959.
The field trip
twenty islands,
included observations and collections at
and the measurement of gamma and beta-gamma
dose rates at thirteen of
these islands.
