contain a large selection of fallout radionuclides as a result of 43
nuclear weapon tests conducted there between 1948 and 1958.
The
authors report elevated fallout radionuclide concentrations buried more
deeply in the lagoon sediments and evidence of burrowing into the
sediment by several species of callianassid ghost shrimp (Crustacea:
The
Thalassinidea) which has displaced highly radioactive sediment.
burrowing activities of callianassids, which are ubiquitous on the
lagoon floor, facilitate radionuclide redistribution and complicate the
fallout radionuclide inventory of the lagoon.

Abstract: The radiological environments are reconstructed for seven ships
and the residence islands of Eniwetok Atoll that received fallout
during operation GREENHOUSE (Aprili- May 1951) as a result of Shots BOG,
EASY, and ITEM. From the reconstructed operations and radiological
environments, equivalent personnel film-badge doses are calculated and
compared with actual film-badge data available for six of the ships.
Considering the increased time spent topside by badged personnel as
opposed to an average crewmember, correlation between calculations and

dosimetry is good. Average shipboard doses range from a low of 0.13 rem

for the crew of the USNS LT. ROBERT CRAIG to a high of 1.14 rem for the
crew of the USNS SGT. CHARLES E. MOWER. Average doses on the residence
islands of Eniwetok Atoll range from 2.75 rem to 3.10 rem.
