Abstract: Reported plutonium levels in fish from both Kwajalein and
Enewetak lagoons suggest that Kwajalein Lagoon contains significantly
more plutonium in its environment than would be expected from worldwide
fallout levels alone, although quantities of plutonium greater than
fallout concentrations have not been detected in the lagoon water. If
there is no reason to reject the published fish data, then individuals
on Kwajalein Atoll who supplement their diet with foods from the local
Marine environment may have plutonium body burdens similar to the low
levels predicted for individuals on similar diets at Enewetak Atoll. ;

Abstract: A study was made on clinical course over a 20 years period in a

fallout in Bikini in 1954. The estimate of exposure dosage and general
clinical
findings,
