Conard offered the suggestion of obtaining a ship with an iron room and
equipped to do the sort of work that is now being done at Rongelap on a permanent basis and thus have a floating laboratory ready to go where ever
needed.
This suggestion was offered for future consideration rather than
present action.
The gr 29 burden in the 1956 death in the population was 0.8 of a strontium
unit.
Teeth Have been collected for $r?9 determination.
Bruner pointed
that in order to have comparable data simular parts of the tooth should
be used.
