No edible land plants were found on the complex.
REEF STRUCTURES

Several large structures, mostly reinforced concrete, constructed on the
coral reef are found between Nam and Iroij and one is located near the
sand bar, Bokbata, southwest of Nam.

All of these structures were

surveyed withthe following results:
1.

Able (Bokbata) Reef Structure - one small door and several
metal pieces on reef 200-300 uR/hr.

2.

Remainder 5-40 uR/hr.

Charlie (Nam), Dog (Iroij) Reef Structure #1 - several
small metal plates on top of concrete foundation 100-500
uR/hr (these are awash at high tide}.

Remainder 5-10 yR/hr.

Structures #2 and #3 - all readings less than 10 yR/hr.
These structures were judged to constitute no radiological hazard and

Trust Territory representatives assessed the physical hazard as insufficient to justify the costly and time consuming effort which would
be required to remove them.
DOSE ASSESSMENT
The traditional living pattern of the Bikinians centers around communal
life on the island of Bikini where the permanent village and social and
religious centers were located.

other islands, primarily Eneu.

Temporary settlements were located on

In view of the Ad Hoc Committee's

recommendation to limit initial resettlement to these two islands, it
is assumed that the doses received from brief visits to other islands
in the Atoll] will be small relative to that received from residence on
Bikini.

In addition the uniformly low exposure rates encountered on

Eneu represented a potential exposure which is negligible even for
continuous occupancy.

For this reason, the treatment of dose considera-

tions will be limited to the island of Bikini.
EXTERNAL DOSE ASSESSMENT
As indicated previously the island of Bikini was extensively monitored

with portable gamma survey meters.

Because the soil samples indicated
