ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



Initial encouragement and involvement were provided 

 by Lauren Donaldson and other personnel of the Labora- 

 tory of Radiation Biology, University of Washington. The 

 laboratory analyzed many of our soil, plant, and animal 

 samples for radionuclides. Subsequent support was pro- 

 vided by direct AEC contract [AT (11-1)1485], MPML 

 (later Mid-Pacific Research Laboratory), various ERDA con- 

 tractors for additional soil and animal tissue gamma counts 

 as well as other atoll support services, and the Bowling 

 Green State University (BGSU) Faculty Research Commit- 

 tee. The most recent field studies were possible because of 

 the inclusion of Manfred Temme in the DOE Radiological 

 Survey of the Northern Marshall Islands (1978). 



Many individuals have participated in these studies. 

 F. C. Rabalais (BGSU) contributed parasitological studies. 

 R. J. Berry (University College, London) with assistance 

 from the Royal Society of London conducted the house 

 mouse studies. W. Z. Lidicker and R. D. Sage (University 

 of California, Berkeley) carried out the mouse tissue 

 analyses. The dosimeters implanted in the rats were 

 prepared and interpreted by I. Aoki, DOE Radiological and 

 Environmental Sciences Laboratory, Idaho Falls. Roger Ray 

 and others of the DOE Las Vegas office were especially 

 helpful in obtaining data and information. William Robison, 

 Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, also provided 

 information. Additional BGSU graduate students participat- 

 ing in the field studies included Michael Carpenter, Tom 

 Denbow, Michael Fall, Gail Haigh, Dale Kaukeinen, Robert 

 Lane, Willard McCartney, and David Rintamaa.
