Rongelap and Bikini Islands by

members of BNLSEP and the owner/operator of Enertech Corporation, the seller

A second comparison station was installed at

At

Utirik, the BNLSEP team collected urine, soil, vegetation and fish samples for

They also collected 5 day high-volume air samples and

Anderson cascade impactor air samples.
