ship paths through this environment; and calculating the doses to
shipboard personnel. The USS RECLAIMER, a support ship, is selected as
a representative ship to demonstrate this methodology. Doses for all
other ships are summarized. Volume II (Appendix A) details the results

for target ship personnel. Volume III

(Appendix B)

details the results

for support ship personnel. Calculated doses for more than 36,000
personnel aboard support ships while at Bikini range from zero to 1.7
rem. Of those approximately 34,000 are less than 0.5 rem. From the

models provided, doses due to target ship reboarding and doses accrued
after departure from Bikini can be calculated,
circumstances of exposure.

Abstract: The radiological environments are reconstructed for eighteen
ships and the residence islands of Enewetak, Kwajalein, and Bikini
Atolls that received fallout following Shots MIKE and KING during
Operation IVY (November 1952). Secondary (late-time) fallout from Shot
MIKE was the primary contributor to the low-level radiation encountered
on the majority of the ships and atolls; only the M/V HORIZON received
primary (early-time) fallout from this event. Fallout from Shot KING
was minimal. From the reconstructed operations and radiological
environments, equivalent personnel film badge doses are calculated and
compared with available dosimetry data for fourteen of the ships.
Calculated doses for the majority of the ships are in good agreement
with the film badge data; however, for three of the participating
destroyers (DDEs), calculated doses are significantly lower than the
dosimetry data indicates. Calculated mean doses for typical shipboard
personnel range from a high of 0.062 rem on the HORIZON to a low of
0.001

rem on the SPENCER F.

BAIRD;

for island-based personnel,

calculated mean doses are less than 0.06 rem.
