It was interesting that while at Bikini the subject of Pu was not
brought up by the people. We told them that low levels of the isotope
were found in their urines and that we were keeping constant tab on this
and other radionuclides by urine analyses and whole body counts.
Dr.
Cohn presented a talk on radiation on Bikini compared with Rongelap and
Utirik and some higher level areas of the world.
The people asked us
many questions; there was much discussion and the meeting lastes several
hours.
I welcome the meeting at ERDA on May 16th since many of us here
feel the need for clarification of responsibilities with so many groups
involved in the bioassay program in the Marshalls.
