Mr. T. A. Rafter

Mr. T. A. Rafter. Director. New Zealand Institute of Nuclear Sciences, speaking on "Nuclear Fallout and its consequences" said we are getting about 10 per cent more radiation than in 1952.

This would mean an increase in leukaemia cases, he said.

Mr. Rafter said the 1963 treaty limiting nuclear testing to underground banned no one.

The USA and the USSR knew most of what they wanted to know and other countries were not under the ban, he explained.

"May Hiroshima be the reminder of the evils of the atom." he concluded.
