A damage and radiation survey was conducted at H+4 hr on

day. This survey covered the islands of the atoll and was
conclusive enough to limit reentry to Enyu and Airukiiji on the first
day. This survey indicated that recontamination was extensive through.
out the atoll and lagoon both to the east and west. No significant
secondary fall-out was encountered at Bikini as a result of this
detonation,
Lagoon water was heavily contaminated with radioactive sediment,
