Estimated integral whole-body external gamma doses for first year and for

30 years.

Values due radiation of

about 0.027 rem for first-year dose and 0.80 rem for 30-year dose. For comparison, Federal Radiation Guide values (total of external and internal doses) for
individuals are 0.5 rem for first year and 5 rem for 30 years.

The results of these calculatioris and a comparison with appropriate recommended
guide values are given in Table 4 for each case under consideration.

Of course, one

should Keep in mind that these cases are only approximations of the expected living
patterns and should regard the results accordingly.

.

The minimum external doses, as one

might: expect, may be realized by living on Eneu Island.

‘

a

ao

Estimated values, including

natural. background, are 0.12 rem during the first year and 2.7 rem over 30 years.

,

A

significant fraction of these values is due to exposure received while visiting other .
islands having higher contamination levels.

Future inhabitants of the existing houses

ey

constructed along the lagoon road on Bikini Island, case 2, may expect to receive first-

year and 30-year integral doses of 0.2 and 4.2 rem respectively.

.

Remedial actions,

cases 3a and 3b, reduce the 30-year values by a few tenths of arem.,

These values would

increase somewhat if the Phase II houses were constructed within area 2 of Fig. 4, cases
4a and 4b, due to the higher gamma exposure rates measured in this area. If, on the

other hand, the Phase II houses were built within the interior of. Bikini Island instead
of along the shores, cases 5 and 6, one would expect the external dose levels to increase
