This report summarizes the results to date of various invusti gations
undertaken by the Health and Safety Laboratory on Project GINS HWE.
The basic purpose of this report is to present new data on theldistribu-
tion of Strontium-90 and this, to the best of our ability, we
ave dons,
However, data are only useful when they serve ag the basis forfinterpreta~
tions and conclusions. We are compelled to point out that theldata are
as yet relatively few and the conclusions muut therefore be regarded as
tentative, more so in some areas of the report than in others,
