DATE (YYMMDD) LIMITATION CODE ABSTRACT International Radiation Protection Association, Washington, DC (USA) ; Australian Radiation}; Protection , (Australia) 880000 UNL / Between 1946 and 1958, the United States conducted 23 nuclear tests at the Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The single largest detonation was the Bravo test, which resulted in extensive radioactive contamination of a number of islands and prevented the timely resettlement of the native population. Since 1958, many studies have been conducted to assess clean up options and the internal and external radiation doses the Bikinians would likely receive, should they resettle the islands. Although the external dose rates from {beta} and {gamma} radiation have been previously determined by aerial and ground measurement techniques, technical constraints limited the assessment of external {beta} dose rates from the Cs-137 and Sr-90/Y-90 contamination on the islands. Now, because of the recent development of very thin thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs), these external {beta} dose rates can be measured.

Lawrence Livermore National Lab., CA (USA) 880531 This report is intended as a resource document for the eventual cleanup of Bikini Atoll and contains a summary of the data for the concentrations of {sup 137}Cs, {sup 90}Sr, {sup 239+240}Pu, and {sup 241}Am in vegetation through 1987 and in soil through 1985 for 14 islands at Bikini Atoll. The data for the main residence island, Bikini, and the most important island, Enew are extensive; these islands have been the subject of a continuing research and monitoring program since 1974. Data for radionuclide concentrations in ground water, cistern water, fish and other marine species, and pigs from Bikini and Eneu Islands are presented. Also included are general summaries of our resuspension and 90038 7b
