values for Bikini
samples from the
"off-site"
Island have been included in Table 2.
Radioisotopic Composition
The results of the semiquantitative analyses of gamma
spectra of samples collected in 1956 and 1958 are given in
Appendix Table L; results of quantitative analyses for some
of the 1958 samples are given in Table 3.
The latter table
also includes the results of the sr?° analyses.
The samples |
were not analyzed immediately after collection;
consequently
the short-lived radioisotopes which might have been present at
the time of collection are not included in the results.
