+ erty 4 c The highest levels on the island were measured around ur/hr. a concrete instrument bunker near the lagoon shore. Other regions where high levels were found were located near the western end over a desert-like plain and near depressions with black algae cover. Readings with the G-M counter in these regions ranged from 110 to 217 pr/hr. Soil samples were taken from two areas on the western end where the highest levels were measured. The analyses of the samples indicated that the majer contributors to the exposure rate were 5° ao, 1°98 Rh, and *25csh. Phese three emitters probably account for about 85% of the tctal exposure rate, with the remainder due mostly to *°”cs (12%). *®°° Eu, 7°leh, *°?Rh, *°°Rh, and *®Zn, were also detected (see Figure 9). Lukoj - Jelete pene F. These two islands in the southwest part of the atoll are quite similar to one another. They are small, more or less round with black coral rock overgrown with ipomea vines along the shore areas. Inland the islands had very dense vegetation. The soil was very damp with considerable thickness of decaying organic matter. These islands also had large bird populations. Survey of these islands was generally done by circling each island about 100 ft. inland. Spot measurements were made in the intericr with at least one transect across the island through the dense vegetation. The radiation levels on Lukoj were quite high. On one short transect the range was 61 to 104 ywr/hr with the scintillation counter and 63 to 130 pr/hr with the G-M counter. On another transect which cut more nearly across center of the island where the higher levels were measured. This soil sample was analyzed on both NaI(T1) and Ge(Li) spectrometers. The spectra indicated that the major y-ray emitters present were °°Co, **5sb, *°?™ph, ?°°%Eu, and **’¢cs TP pee os, bo wee the center of the island the ranges were 100 to 171 pr/hr and 83 to 197 ur/hr.
