Abstract: On Mike shot of Operation Ivy measurement of underwater pressures
was attempted at four locations near the floor of the lagoon. Gauges
were installed at distances ranging from approximately 5700 to 112,000
ft from ground zero and about 1 mile from the reef. The single usable
record showed sharp pressure spikes at 0.3 and 0/6 sec after zero time.

Although the later spike corresponded with the time of arrival of the

air shock at the surface of the lagoon above the gauge, no satisfactory
explanation for the first spike has been found. Because two of the four
gauges used were apparently faulty in their operation and the recorder
to which a third was connected failed to start at all, it was
impossible to draw any conclusions regarding the nature or magnitude of

the underwater shock.;

Abstract:

This report is part of a continuing effort to refine dose

assessments for resettlement options at Bikini Atoll. Radionuclide

concentration data developed at Bikini Atoll since 1977 have been used
in conjunction with recent dietary information and current dose models
to develop the annual dose rate and 30- and 50-y integral doses
presented here for Bikini and Eneu Island living patterns. The

terrestrial food chain is the most significant exposure pathway--it
contributes more than 50% of the total dose--and external gamma
