For purposes of the above calculation, the exposure rate on the beach was

assumed constant at 10 uR/hr, on the water at 5 uR/hr, and for the village

the modified (mean/2) exposure rate was used.

It is felt that all of

these estimates are conservative.
THERMO-LUMINESCENT DOSIMETER PROGRAM
As a check on the validity of the ganma exposure rates as measured by
survey meters, thermo-luminescent dosimeters were placed at six locations
on Eneu and twelve locations on Bikini.

Three dosimeters were placed

at each location and left for approximately thirty days.

These dosi-

meters were then collected and shipped by air to SWRHL where they
were read.

One set of three dosimeters served as controls for each

placement period.

Survey meter readings at these locations ranged

from essentially zero to ninety pR/hr.
