As we noted earlier, our environmental samples from this 

 area have been collected either by our own efforts, for us 

 by people from the Darling Center, University of Maine, or 

 for us by commercial collectors. 



In Table 9 are set out analyses of a series of surficial 

 sediment samples collected by the Darling Center. These date 

 from the time when the reactor outflow was still directed 

 into Bailey's Cove, and (we believe) when the outflow was 

 appreciably richer in some long-lived radionuclides than it 

 seems to have been during our sampling period as summarized 

 in Table 3. The data in Table 9 show that during the period 

 August 1974 to June 1975, Bailey's Cove received a quite 

 substantial release of radiocesium that is shown by its high 

 content of 134cs to have certainly come from the Maine
