by experjbs on soil and vegetation disclosed no difference between the two
samples from the two areas where the specimens were obtained. Tests for radio-

activity likewise showed no significant difference between trie two samples of
soil and vegetation. Tests were made for beta, gamma., and alpha radiation.
Samples of tiie "Kansas" soil and the vegetatijon will be returned to WPAFB in
the
 future.
