with mo epilation.

in addition, Nongelap natives received 150 roestgens

It is to be reenllied that:

(a) the natives probably vere cut-cf-

doors and received the full fallout, (>) the oily nair, semi-naked per=
spizxing bodies ineluding bere feet, and lack of bathing fer most would tend
to eollect and held the fallout material, ‘c} the time of delivery ef essentially all of the dozes was two to three days.

Further, it may be specu

lated that the fallout on the sore distant island of Otirik (about 300
statute tiles)

would consist of amaller particles and also perhaps lesser

possibility of overlapping of radiation fields from theas particles.

It is to be immediately emphasised that
