This survey indicated

that recontamination was extensive throughout the atoll and lagoon both to the
east and west.

No significant secondary fall-out was encoimtered at Bikini as

a result of this detonation.
Lagoon water was heavily contaminated with radioactive sediment.
Readings of 1 r/hr were obtained at 100 feet altitude in the vicinity of zero

Floating objects revealed readings of 1 to 3 r/hr on

Small boats and barges in Bikini - Enyu anchorage were contaminated

to a moderate degree (1 - 6 r/hr).

Lagoon flushing through the southwest
