exposure is the second most significant pathway. Other pathways
evaluated are the marine food chain, drinking water, and inhalation.
Cesium-137 produces more than 85% of the predicted dose; /sup 90/Sr is

the second most significant radionuclide;

/sup 60/Co contributes to the

external gamma exposure in varying degrees, but is a small part of the
total predicted dose; the transuranic radionuclides contribute a small
portion of the total predicted lung and bone doses but do present a
long-term source of exposure. Maximum annual dose rates for Bikini
Island are about 1 rem/y for the whole body and bone marrow when
imported foods are available and about 1.9 rem/y, when imports are
unavailable. Maximum annual dose rates for Eneu Island when imports are
available are 130 mrem/y for the whole body and 136 mrem/y for bone
Marrow. Similar doses when imported foods are unavailable are 245 and
263 mrem/y, respectively. The 30-y integral doses for Bikini Island are
about 23 rem for whole body and bone marrow when imported foods are

available and more than 40 rem when imports are unavailable. The Eneu

Island 30-y integral doses for whole body and bone marrow are about 3
rem when imports are available and 5.5 and 6.1 rem, respectively, when
imports are unavailable. Doses from living patterns involving some
combination of Bikini and Eneu Islands fall between the doses listed
above for each island separately.;

Abstract: This report is intended as a comprehensive record of the July 16,
1945 atomic bomb test at the Alamogordo Air Base. The events leading up™
to Zero,

the moment the bomb was detonated are described in detail.

Thée™

radiation observations at Trinity, are summarized and compared with thé
airburst test at Bikini. All other experimental observations made at
™

the Trinity test are summarized. Possible future atomic bomb tests that
might be scheduled to investigate the behavior of bombs of a design
o>
urs
different from the Model 2 Implosion Bomb used at Trinity, Nagasaki,
and Bikini are discussed.;
