Data from 11 detonations during May, June, and July of 1958 (Sh57) indicated a mean fallout deposition exponent of 18.8. This mean value waa observed at Ucirik, Rongelap, Parry, and Wotho and was applied to early time post detonation of BRAVO to obtain the initial increasing exposure rate history shown on Figures 24 and 26. This method yielded a fallout deposition period of 5.5 hours on Rongelap and 12 hours on Utirik. This time compares well with the original observations reported by the Marshallese and by U.S. Navy personne! stationed in the area (Sh57). Initial dose equivalents on “acute doses” are developed in greater detail in another report. we ake bet “ae3 re ay saqlO 46 Re Ceolcag rE See perros eK
