Abstract: In June 1975 a radiological survey was conducted of the
terrestrial environment
of Bikini
and Eneu islands
(Bikini Atoll)
NTS
to
evaluate the potential radiation dose to the returning Bikini
population. In this report, we present measurements of the radionuclide
concentration in soil profiles and in dominant species of edible and
nonedible,
indicator plants.
The use of these data to derive
relationships to predict the plant uptake of radionuclides from soil is
described. Approximately 620 soil and vegetation samples from Bikini
and Eneu Islands were analyzed by Ge(Li) gamma spectrometry and by wet
chemistry. The predominant radionuclides in these samples were /sup
60/Co,
/sup 90/Sr,
241/Am.;
/sup 137/Cs,
/sup 239,240/Pu,
