Plants and Fall-out

Nature volume 183, page 1448 (1959)Cite this article

Abstract

IT has been suggested that the gist of certain unpublished observations on the condition of certain plants in the area of the Marshall Islands affected by fall-out from the 1954 Bikini hydrogen bomb test should be made public in order to stimulate further investigation on the subject of cumulative effects of low-level radioactivity in plants. These observations have hitherto remained unpublished because of their preliminary and inconclusive nature.
