Country of Origin: United States Abstract: From June 1946 to August 1958, the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) conducted nuclear weapons tests in the Northern Marshall Islands. On 1 March 1954, BRAVO, an above-ground test in the Castle series, produced high levels of radioactive material, some of which subsequently fell on Rongelap and Utirik Atolls due to an unexpected wind shift. On 3 March 1954, the inhabitants of these atolls were moved out of the affected area. They later returned to Utirik in June 1954 and to Rongelap in June 1957. Comprehensive environmental and personnel radiological monitoring programs were initiated in the mid 1950s by Brookhaven National Laboratory to ensure that body burdens of the exposed Marshallese subjects remained within AEC guidelines. Their body-burden histories and calculated activity ingestion rate patterns post-return are presented along with estimates of internal committed effective dose equivalents. External exposure data are also included. In addition, relationships between body burden or urine-activity concentration and declining continuous intake were developed.; Major Descriptors: *CESIUM 137 -- BODY BURDEN; *COBALT 60 -- BODY BURDEN; *MARSHALL ISLANDS -- RADIATION MONITORING; *STRONTIUM 90 -- BODY BURDEN 7 *ZINC 65 -- BODY BURDEN Descriptors: DOSE EQUIVALENTS; EXPERIMENTAL DATA; FALLOUT; FISHES; NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS; RADIATION DOSES; URINE Broader Terms: ALKALI METAL ISOTOPES; ALKALINE EARTH ISOTOPES; ANIMALS; AQUATIC ORGANISMS; BETA DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; BETA-MINUS DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; BETA-PLUS DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS; BIOLOGICAL WASTES; BODY FLUIDS; CESIUM ISOTOPES; COBALT ISOTOPES; DATA; DAYS LIVING RADIOISOTOPES; DOSES; ELECTRON CAPTURE RADIOISOTOPES; EVEN-EVEN NUCLEI; EVEN-ODD NUCLEI; EXPLOSIONS; INFORMATION; INTERMEDIATE MASS NUCLEI; INTERNAL CONVERSION RADIOISOTOPES; ISLANDS; ISOMERIC TRANSITION ISOTOPES; ISOTOPES; MATERIALS; MICRONESIA; MINUTES LIVING RADIOISOTOPES; MONITORING; NUCLEI; NUMERICAL DATA; OCEANIA; ODD-EVEN NUCLEI; ODD-ODD NUCLEI; RADIOISOTOPES; STRONTIUM ISOTOPES; VERTEBRATES; WASTES; YEARS LIVING RADIOISOTOPES; ZINC ISOTOPES Subject Categories: 560161* Toxicology -- Man Author(s): (Item 370 from file: EDB-84-102236 Sehmel, G.A.
