28 American servicemen stationed on

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
scenarios, as available,
Internal dose commitments to the thyroid and large
