Little lagoon contamination should result from the deep

water surface shot.

Something on the order of 10% of the total radioe

activity from the remainder of the shots should eventually be deposited
in the lagoon. Using this assumption, a 200 KT shot should give about

thesame results as Bikini BAKER; or 2 UT about five tines 3AicR, etc.
Thefollowing BAKER results are presented for cocparison:

No health hasard should exist after any shot; tne princisal

adverse effect should be limited to an operational nuisance.

Freon tne

above SAXZR results, cone could expect to operate in the lagoon at tne

end of 24 hours for reasonable lengths of tine, with the situation rapidly improving daily.
