tion, sites and yields of remaining everts, and the average level of personnel dosages already sequired.

In general, the levels which could be tolera-

for earlier shots,

ds a general rule, a dose rate which would result in two

to three times the MPE cf 3,.9r (and possibly as high as 20r) for the remining period of the operation was considered aceeptable without. resorting to

Since this effect was
