Abstract: Methods and models used to estimate the radiation doses to a
returning population of the atolls in the Marshall Islands are
presented. In this environment natural processes have acted on
source-term radionuclides for nearly 30 years. The data bases developed
for the models, and the results of the radiological dose analyses at
the various atolls are described. The major radionuclides in order of

their contribution to the total estimated doses were /sup 137/Cs, /sup
90/Sr, /sup 239/ /sup 240/Pu, /sup 241/Am, and /sup 60/Co. Exposure

pathways in order of their contribution to the estimated doses were:
terrestrial food chain, external ..gamma.., marine food chain,
inhalation,

figures,

and cistern water and ground water.
