Abstract: This report concerns the medical follow-up survey of 82
Marshallese people two years after exposure to fallout radiation. On
Rongelap Island, 64 people and on Ailingnae, 18 people were exposed to
the radiation on March 1, 1954, after an experimental detonation of a
nuclear device some 100 miles away. Initial and follow up studies on
these people six months and one year after exposure have been reported.

Abstract: This paper presents an equation with which the constant daily

activity ingestion rate may be calculated from sequentially obtained
whole body counting and urine bioassay data.
The model was developed

The technique is applicable to radioactive material

whose biological and physical removal mechanisms are linear first order

processes described by appropriate rate constants which give the
instantaneous fraction of atoms transferred from compartments in the
body to urine per unit time, and the instantaneous fraction of atoms
