Othe exposure rates in the immediate vicinity of the houses have been reduced
by a factor of two and eight for remedial actions a and b, respectively.
However, we have estimated that only 35 to 40% of the Bikinian's time will be

relatively small because the total dose includes the exposure received from
the areas where he spends the remainder of his time.
