Atomic Cattle at Oak Ridge Report Long Term Radiation Effects
A herd of 58 white faced Herefords at Oak Ridge on a 3000 acre farm shows lasting effects from the Trinity blast near Alamogordo in 1945. Hair changes, scars, and potential cancer risks are tracked by the University of Tennessee and the U S Atomic Energy Commission with no immediate hereditary or meat radioactivity findings. The study, begun May 15, involves Dr A H Holland Jr and Prof Charles A Hobbs as part of a long term cooperative program.
