Description/Abstract:
THE FRC BELIEVES THAT ANY EXPOSURE TO FALLOUT MAY INVOLVE SOME RISK TO HEALTH. WHILE THE BIOLOGICAL RISKS ARE SMALL THE FRC RECOMMENDS THAT OFFICIALS RESPONSIBLE FOR PLANNING AND CONDUCTING NUCLEAR TESTS TRY TO LIMIT EXPOSURES TO THE LOWEST LEVELS COMPATIBLE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF NATIONAL SECURITY.
