the food producing areas.

Theny we shoula try to caloulate for

a specific area a potential exposure to this risk and then
relate this to the amcunt that ons found in peoples’ boncs,
taking account of their ages.

I think that in view of the

fact that it is probably going te cost us a fair emount of
money to get the samples, they cught to be designed very carefully, and alec a goed deal of ingemity and mney put inte
the analysis. We can't assume ahead of time that we are going
to get very good ansvers, but at least we cught te have in
wind thet we should produce an enswer that aight allow us to

give rough predictions frem a series of detonaticns wing all

us if a certain number of bombs of specified yield are set
off roughly in these locations at this time of the year and

Eisnebud's data indicates that, it falls aff fairly regularly,

On the

that if you are looking at soil, thie thing is liable to lock

If

you are lecking at hwsan bones which sort of draw in an average

It's hard to say.

It's going to depend on whether this lecal
