Abstract: This is the first in a series of reports dealing with the results

of a major DNA program coordinating rocket, satellite, and ground-based
equatorial studies at Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. This
report concentrates on the NRL contribution to the overall program, the
direct measurement of the ionospheric plasma state as determined by
on-board pulsed-plasma-probe (P3) observations of electron energies,
densities, and density fluctuation power spectra. In particular, the
authors .describe their newly developed data acquisition system which
acquired and displayed in real-time the ionospheric electron density
profile as it was being measured by the P3 technique during the rocket
flight .;

Abstract: External radiation measurements were made at several atolls in
the northern Marshall Islands, which are known or suspected to have
been the recipients of tropospheric fallout during the Pacific Testing
Programs. Sufficient data were available to ascertain realistic dose

predictions for the inhabitants of Rongelap and Utirik Atolls where the
30 year integral doses from external sources exclusive of background
radiation were 0.65 and 0.06 rem respectively. These estimates are
based on realistic life-style models based on observations of* each
atoll community. Ailuk and Wotje Atolls were found to be represenatives
of regional background radiation levels.;
