SLIDE 59 Utirik summary. yse of the body-burden extrapolation equation leads us to the conclusion that 6 Zn could have been the major contributor to the ingested activity during the first years post-rehabitation of Utirik Atoll. This was supported to some extent by a Japanese report (JCCRRER56) which indicated to us a rise in the photon count rate at the surface of various types of tuna retrieved from the Marshall Islands’ fishing grounds from March to August 1954 (100-10,000 cpm). Fish with count rates greater than 100 cpm at the surface were discarded, by the fishermen. prominence of Radiochemical techniques indicated the ~~Zn in the tuna's edible flesh. For committed effective dose equivajent, fhe impact of nuclides with a short mean residence time in the diet (~~Zn, Co) was greater at Utirik because the population reinhabited within months of the BRAVO event. TES ippact of nuclides with a long mean residence time in the diet ( Cs, Fe) was greater at Rongelap because of greater initial contamination. 1954-2004 UTIRIK PROTRACTED EXPOSURE SUMMARY Nuclide Co 87Cg 87H Sr Se External Total” Bq Intake Year 50 . 54,000 860,000 5,200,000 1,700 1,900,000 .
