Description

Nancy Caldwell demonstrates a breath sample as Robley D. Evans looks on.

Original Caption: "Under the direction of Dr. Robley D. Evans, project leader of the Radioactivity Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Miss Nancy Caldwell demonstrates how a sample of breath is taken for studies of the long-term effect of radium on the body. Such research, it is believed, will provide clues as to the long-term effect of atomic radiation from fall-out."
