SUBJECT:
UWAFL - 195) MARSHALL ISLAND SURVEY
DATE: August 1, 1956
Results of Analyses of Samples sent to HASL
Seven (7) oven-dried samples of fish liver end muscle were
received at HASL on October 26, 1955. They were sent by
Dr. Donaldson's group and at the time, no other pertinent
information was available. Each sample was wet-ashed and
analyzed for total activity and Sr-90. In two cases where
there was enough material, a Cs~137 analysis was performed.
Dr. Donaldson, in his letter of April 5, 1956, offered
discriptive information as to the date and sampling location. However, no wet-weight data were given. It was not
until Mr. Whitney visited the AFL that it was confirmed
that no wet-weights were available.
The results of our analyses are presented in the table below:
