Country of Origin: United States
Abstract: The restoration of Bikini Atoll after contamination with fallout
from weapons tests began in 1969.
By the time of their departure in
1978 the number of Bikini residents had reached about 140.
External
radiation monitoring, bioassay and whole-body counting programmes for

the Bikini Island population are described.

The dose equivalents

during the residency period and dose equivalent commitments to bone and

marrow from ingested /sup 90/Sr - /sup 930/Y and to total-body from
ingested /sup 137/Cs - /sup 137/sup(M)Ba are presented.
A whole-body

dose equivalent and commitment of 3 rem for a maximally exposed person
and a population average dose equivalent

and commitment

of 1.2 rem were

calculated for residential periods between 1969 and 1978.;
