Description/Abstract:
THE REVISED SCHEDULE OF PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURES TO IONIZING RADIATION IS FIVE REMS PER YEAR. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THIS IS A WORKABLE NUMBER. GROUP H-6 HAS DETERMINED THAT ABSORPTION OF BOTH PLUTONIUM AND STRONTIUM IS QUITE SENSITIVE TO PH; CESIUM IS MUCH LESS DEPENDENT. "GREEN THUMB" CONTINUED WITH STUDIES OF MOVEMENT IN SOIL AND UPTAKE BY PLANTS OF CESIUM-137 AND STRONTIUM-90. CESIUM IS TRANSLOCATED FROM THE SOIL TO THE PLANT.
