fstrect: Three bedy burden measurements cf the Bikini Island pepulatian
we-e conducted from 1974 to 1978 at Bikini Island.
During this time, the
mean /sup 137/Cs bedy burden cf the adult Bikini population increased by a
factzr af 20.
This dramatic elevation of the body burden appears ta be
solely attributable te increased availability of lecally grown food
preducts, specifically ceconuts and coceanut plant products.
In January
1977. 48% of the individuals that were whole bady counted in April 1978,
were receintad approx. i45 days after the Bikini Isiand population departed
fren Eikini Atoll. Theee results show that the adult population ‘sup 137/Cs
tesy burden decreased by a factor of 2.9 between the April 1978 and January ~
1977 in vivo measurements.

: In a radicchemica, survey on the centamination of white claver
grrwe in a field. senple plarts were obtained fram the same grass land at 2
different -imes, The ash of exch simple wes anaiyzec. It was concluded that
radiltctive aikaline earths, especially /sup 49/5r and /sup 70/Sr were
eelerctive.y accumilated 19 gplents. The selective absorption of Bikini ash
by ice piacts was alsa studied. Noncentaminated rice plants were
cultisater in the radioactive solutien produced frem Bikini ash far 20

da-s. Ther the akso-ptian by plants of radioactive elements wes examined bv
thramacographic exchange. From the eluticn curve and ratio cf radioactivity
af each separaticn grcup, it has become clear that rice plants accumulated
Jarger carts of fission preducts in their rocts and selectively absorbed
and transtecated radioactive alkaline earths in their shacts even if the
abscrpticn ratio cf Bikini fission products was comparatively small.
