Abstract: An aerial radiological survey was conducted over eleven atolls
and two islands within the northern Marshall Islands between September
and November 1978. This survey was part of a comprehensive radiological
survey, which included extensive terrestrial and marine sampling, to
determine possible residual contamination which might remain as a
result of the United States nuclear testing program conducted at Bikini
Enewetak Atolls between 1946 and 1958. A similar survey was conducted
at Enewetak Atoll in 1972. The present survey covered those atolls
-O
known to have received direct fallout from the Bravo event, conducted ™
in March 1954 at Bikini Atoll. These included Bikini, Rongelap,
os
Rongerik, Ailinginae, Bikar, Taka, and Utirik Atolls. In addition,
ry
several atolls and islands which might have been at the fringes of the™@
Bravo fallout were also surveyed, including Likiep and Ailuk Atolls,
™

Jemo and Mejit Islands, and Wotho Atoll. Ujelang Atoll, which lies

approximately 200 km southwest of Enewetak, was also surveyed.
Island-averaged terrestrial exposure rates in the range of 30 to 50
