Abstract: Milk samples were collected on an approximately daily basis from various points both in and out of the fall-out pattern resulting from Shot Harry, Upshot- Knothole Operation, detonated on 19 May 1953. Sample collection was limited generally to the purchase of bottled or packaged milk from the retail market. An analytical procedure with good recoveries was developed to determine the activity in the milk. The concentrations found, when compared to an emergency tolerance value for water, do not represent in themselves a source of internal hazard. The data presented tend to dndicate that the principal source of contamdnation was from material ingested by the animals. (auth)
