Progress is reported in the following studies: a radio-biological-ecological survey of the Columbia River; the toxicity of sodium dichromate in effluent water for chinook salmon; the toxic effects of continuous low-level exposure to I/sup 131/ in sheep; comparative effects of ..beta.. irradiation on the skin of sheep, swine, and rabbits; fission product absorption and metabolism in rats; absorption and metabolism of reactor effluent radioisotopes in rats; gastro-intestinal radiation injury in rats; fission product uptake in plants; genetic effects of internally deposited radioelements in yeast; biological monitoring of waterfowl; development of a system for the quantitative measurement by ..gamma.. counting of fission products in reactor effluent; the development of monitoring methods and instruments; counting techniques; soil chemistry; waste disposal; and meteorological studies. The status of the research program is reviewed. (For preceding period see HW-41026.)
