On the basis of this investigation, the following islands are
- extremely unlikely to have received fallout from the Bikini or Enewetak
- tests at levels higher than the background exposure of 209 mrem/yeer:
Aur
ii
Wotto
pie
Erikud
Ujae
Lae
Lib
‘Haloelap
Ma juro
Namorik
Kusaie
Arno
Kivi
Kwajalein
Namu
Jabwot
Ailinglanalep
Mi14
Narik
Jaluit
Ebon
and any other islands circumscribed by the above.
The following islands may have received some falldut from
nuclear tests.
Jt is unlikely that the intensities would have resulted
in an exposure of more than 2 rem the first year; subsequent annuél
exposures would have been Jess than background:
Jem
.
Aj luk
Mejit
The following islands did receive fallout with intensities
ranging from 1 to 2590 R/hr at J hr.
They are listed in estimatec
order of decreasing residual activity:
Rongelap
Taongi (based on cloud drift only - no survey data available)
Rongerik
Ailinginae
Bikar
Utirik
Taka
WI.
CONCLUSIONS
DOE ARCHIVES
The above estimates, even when corrected for soil migration,
can only be considered preliminary; they are very likely to be upper
bounds. Note that only cs29? has been considered. The addition of
sr9° (a beta-emitter) and co? (which results from weapon debris acti-
vation) are necessary in completing the estimates of the total activity

present.
