The average of the most radioactive set of surface water samples collected in eastern Massachusetts following November, 1952, Eniwetok detonations registered 6.9 counts per minute per liter or 0. 02 ..mu.. ..mu.. curies per milliliter. As the peak radioactivity concentration in rain and surface waters occurred about a month after these tests, the Atomic Energy Commission ~ Civil Defense Administration beta concentration level for 30 day water consumption appears pertinent. This indicates that for drinking water purposes, the Ivy test would have had to discharge (31,000 ..mu.. ..mu.. curies per milliliter) / (0.02 ..mu.. ..mu.. curies per milliliter) = 1,500,000 times as much fission radioactivity
