UNDER THIS PROGRAM DA MAGE TO THE GROWING PLANT WHICH MIGHT RESULT FROM FALLOUT IS BEING INV ESTIGATED IN CROPS OF SOYBEANS CORN AND RICE. THE PLANTS ARE GROWN IN CONTAINERS SO THEY CAN BE EASILY TRANSPORTED TO THE RADIATION SOURCE FOR THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF RADIATION AT THE DESIRED TIME DURING THE IR GROWTH PERIOD. EACH CONTAINER OF SOYBEAN PLANTS HAVE BEEN IRRADIAT ED ON A DIFFERENT DAY OF GROWTH.
