|Fa|Iout Blight
Still In Future,
Scientists Say
BY FRANK CAREY
Associated Press Science Reporter

Scientists reported today that
all the A-bombs and H-bombs
exploded to date equal the energy
of so million tons of INT.
This is the equivalent of $500
|Hiroshima-type bombs.
The disclosure came in a CO.
lumbia University report on re-
search-Suggested by DR.. Willard
Libby of the Atomic Energy Com
Imission-which declared that
bombs having a total energy
equivalent of IS billion tons
would need to be detonated be-
fore the average" worldwide
concentration of radioactive
IStrontium in human bone
reached the danger level. This
tonnage would include the bombs
already detonated.
Radioactive strontium - con-
sidered to be potentially the
most dangerous of all radioactive
materials in nuclear bomb fall

lit accumulated in sufficient
amounts. 1t can get into the

Three scientists of the Lamont
Geological Observatory at Co.

Ito the teshnical journal

of strontium content of human
bone made at II stations in
various parts Of the world.
Five of the survey points were
in Europe. six in North America.
four in South America, one in
Africa. and one on Formosa.
The scientists said that as OF
autumn. 1855, on the basis of
these studies, the worldwide
average Strontium content in
man was about OH micro
microcurie per gram of calcium"
or about one ten-thousandth
the maximum permissible con-
centration.
They added that "a few values
as high as 10 times the average
have been obtained"
The scientists indicated that
dietary factors might help to
account for individual varia-
tions.

At Springfield, other substitute

they are entitled only to straight
