Under the AEC contract, scientists of the University have been study- ing the biological after-effects of nuclear tests at the mid-Pacific atolls intermittently since 1946. Returning in August 1964, the team of biologists sets out to determine how much radiation remains, what changes have occurred on the reefs, what has happened to birds, land animals and to fish in the lagoons, and what kinds of plants have come back. The scientists find that: the islands are once again lush with vegeta- tion, external radiation levels have dropped to levels safe for people and the radioactive burdens in animals and plants are low, rainwater in the soil is safe for drinking, coconut trees are increasing again, all the expected species of fish and sea life are to be found, birds are thriving, and that the sea—surging through the coral reefs — has cleaned, re- stored and nourished the atolls. The scientists conclude that the gross results of nuclear testing are fading, and what little biological damage remains is rapidly healing.

Colburn Laboratory, Inc., at $42.14 per print, in- cluding shipping case, F.O.B. Chicago. Shows USAEC Special Award Winners, selected at the 16th National Science Fair-International at St. Louis, experiencing their "Nuclear Research Orientation Week" at Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago. After brief discussion of the science fair program and the St. Louis fair, the film includes highlights of science projects ex- hibited by the winners, and the student's inspection of some of Argonne's many research and development facilities. It concludes with a round- table discussion with a distinguished senior scientist, in which the young scientists consider the challenges awaiting them and the steps to be taken toward meeting those challenges. Suitable for high school stu- dents, for educators and parent groups, for educational television, and for advanced junior high school students.
