AEC Report
On strontium 90 in soils.
Porter said he had received
a letter from the Atomic En
ergy commission concerning
"The nature of radioactive
fallout and its effects on
man."
The letter reported informa
tion given in the 1957 hear
ings of the joint committee on
atomic energy.
According to the letter,
"the highest values occur in
the North Central states with
a pronounced decrease from
Seattle to California. While
we have not analyzed samples
of soil from Southerwestern
Oregon, measurements of
gross fallout on gummed film
at Medford run only about
half as high as at Boise and
two-thirds as high as at Seat

consistent with prevailing
meteorological conditions and
relative location of the TJ. S
and Foreign test sites.
"... Concentrations of
strontium 90 in soil vary
from place to place. The prin

lets clattered down on the
community, bringing dismay

start, the children had a spell
of bright sunshine to romp
in. A party afterward in the
school house brought, the

resuming again on Monday.
