"Exposure of sclected corn seeds should be undertekon ag a
biolorical test, since this is idval material for work under
difficult conditions,
"There is considcrablc date available fron tho corn corposurcs
at Bikini,
One of the items of interest is 1 high proportion of
chlorotic scctorcd plants grown from Bikini cxposed sced,
This
lack of chlorophyl condition cannot be reproduced in the samc proportions with x-rays,
Pro-test date should be obt..incd as to
whethor or net such cffects can be sceurcd vith neutrons “lone, or

"The effects of radiation on mutction vreduction in Asporgillus
terreus.
Mr, Stapleton is comnleting a commrctive study of the
efficioney of difforent tyres of radiation on inactivation as -:cll
as mutation nroduction.
Several hundred vials could be proparcd
vith large numbers of fungus spores which vould be placed at
different locations. . .. ,the spores could bu. prepared on the
spot and shipped back to Oak Ridge by air for further study,
Facilities for sterile work vould be ncecssary."
