CALIFORNIAN ORANGES
.Sir,—Are fruit importers aware of the possible danger of radioactivity in the Californian oranges now on sale in New Zealand? Has this fruit been tested? Nevada, the testing ground of atom and hydrogen bombs, is a neighbouring State of California.—Yours, etc.. VITAMIN C. May 24, 1955. [“The likelihood of any significant radioactive contamination must be regarded as extremely remote,” said the director of the Dominion X-ray and Radium Laboratory (Mr G. E. Roth), when he was asked to comment on this letter. “I am not aware that any tests for possible contamination have been made.”]
