Tables

1 and 2 represent the bone and bone marrow mean doses

and ranges in mRem which were the result of ingesting 706-905 during

the residency interval.

These data were derived from measured urine

activity concentrations during the uptake period.

Constant continu-

ous ingestion of activity was assumed in the models used

to calculate

the dose equivalents and dose equivalent commitments.

Table 3 depicts the external dose equivalent resulting from living on Bikini Island.

assumed living pattern selected.

Since these values were obtained

from ion chamber measurements and hypothetical living patterns,
range of results has been provided.
