18 ABSTRACT (Continue on reverse if necessary and identify by block number)

External and

internal doses are reconstructed for the 28 American servicemen stationed on

Rongerik Atoll, Marshall Islands, who were exposed to fallout on 1-2 March 1954 from Shot

Bravo of Operation CASTLE.
and film badge information.

External doses are determined from limited radiation survey
Internal dose commitments are derived from Urinalysis data.

The magnitude of the calculated activity intake suggests the principal pathways.

Reconstructed film badge doses are approximately 40 rem, with adjustments from individual
activity scenarios, as available.
Internal dose commitments to the thyroid and large
intestine (nearly all first-year dose) provide the only significant increments to the
external dose.
Total doses are approximately 230 rem to the thyroid, 115 rem to the lower
large intestine, 85 rem to the upper large intestine, and about 40 to 50 rem to all other

organs.
