Abstract

IN 1960 the late summer bird populations of a small valley 50 miles north of Atlanta, Georgia, were exposed to high level neutron-gamma radiation which was released from a 10 megawatt, air-shielded nuclear reactor at Air Force Plant 67. The reactor operated for five days in each of three consecutive weeks and was shut down on weekends. The purpose of this study is to compare the changes in numbers of birds living in the radiated valley with those in a similar non-radiated area.
