Progress is reported in the following studies: effect of strontium-90 and yttrium-90 on rainbow trout; effects of chronic ingestion of small doses of iodine-131 in sheep; gastrointestinal absorption of orally administered strontium-90 in miniature swine; the effectiveness of various treatments i the therapy of radioinduced skin lesions; absorption and metabolism of plutonium and effects of DTPA on deposition of plutonium in bone; effects of chronic ingestion of strontium-90 and calcium-45 in young rats; effects of age on absorption and retention of zinc-65 in rats; long term effects of ingested yttrium-90 on intestine; the radioprotective effects of erioglaucine in rats; the presence of lymphosarcomas in the intestinal mesentery of mice exposed to Pu/sup 239/O/sub 2/ atmosphere; deposition and translocation of Pu/sup 23/ following inhalation of Pu/sup 239/O/sub 2/ in dogs; distribution of iodine-131 in sheep following exposure to iodine-131 vapor and silver iodide-iodine-131 aerosol; radiosensitivity of yeast cells; the uptake of cesium-137 and strontium-90 by bean plants; comparison of quantities of fission products, zirconium-niobium-95, cesium-137, cerium-141, and cesium-praseodymium-144 in plants and animals collected from various habitats with amount of rainfall; radiobiological monitoring of Columbia River; modifications in personnel monitoring instruments; completion of a whole-body monitor; installation and testing of radiotelemetering equipment; investigations relative to detection techniques; study of the process of adsorption and subsequent erosion of isotopes in reactor process tube film; and geological and hydrological studies of Hanford area of interest in problems of waste disposal; investigations on immobilization of radioisotopes in waste solutions.
