e on . APPENDIX ASSESSMENT OF WIND PROFILES AND FALLOUT PATTERNS FOR BIKIN] TESTS The Bravo and Yankee shots, as previously discussed, both deposited fallout on the islands east of Bikini. In both cases, Bhe lowest reported contour level was not low enough to circumscribe the Lota) fallout deposition. Extrapolation was used to define the 0.2 R/HR (H+]) contour; this level was chosen because it results in anlexposure the first year of about 200 mrem,which fs about the annua? Backoround dose. Shown in Figure 2 is the southern periphery of the Bravojand Yankee patterns relative to the location of the islands. The other Castile shots are Romeo, Koon and Union| off-site fallout measurements are not available so that their resdective wind profiles have to be examined. The Romeo winds at H+3 and H+9 (DASA 1251) were nbt measured ebove 67,000 ft. Below this altitude the dominant direction of the profile is to the north; while not measured for the test, altitude winds are uniformly to the west. Thus it is safa@ to state that the Romeo fallout did not reach any of the off-site did not reach any of the Marshall Islands. Shot Union presented a rather unique wind problem. DOE ARCHIVES.
