APPENDIX SAMPLE CASE INTERVIEW After being evacuated to Kwajalein on 2 March 1954, all of the military personnel assigned to Rongerik Atoll were interviewed to determine their specific activities during the period | March until their subsequent evacuation on 2 March. Some of the interviews provided sufficient detail to determine an individual's activities, hence his whereabouts, on an hour-to-hour basis. Because the film badge dose estimates in this memorandum are based on seventeen such interviews, this appendix shows how these data are utilized in calculating the film badge doses. Reference 3 contains a summary of the interviews obtained from the 28 military personnel after being evacuated to Kwajalein. The results of an interview with CN 496, extracted from Reference 3, is as follows: CN 406 Duty. Rawinsonde Operator. Activities. | March: On duty day of 1 March until 1630. Took shower before chow.

Based on the interview with CN 406, it is possible to estimate where this individual was at a particular time and, hence, determine what radiation protection was provided by the particular building he was in. When a particular structure was not specified, it was assumed he was outdoors (PF=1.0). Table 6 details the activities of CN 406 as inferred from his interview, and lists the calculated film badge dose for this individual during his stay on Rongerik. 35
