NATURE OF FALLOUT, INTERNAL DEPOSITION,
URINARY EXCRETION, BODY BURDEN, AND
LONG TERM HAZARD.
DR.

CLAUS:

I approach this report with some

trepidation, because as you know, I was shanghaied into this
group this morning.

It is not often, though, that the

shanghaied member of the crew gets to be skipper right away.

DR. CLAUS:

As to

the nature of the fallout, it is

19

pretty well agreed that the fallout on the islands consisted

20

of large particles with radioactivity plated out on

21

calcium carbonate.

In the islands, there, at least there

appeared to be no real evidence of lime burns.

It was

interesting that some people observed in the dark room a
