Radiological Survey of Downwind tolls Contaminated by 82.15

that ono survey mctor could not bo properly tore adjustod. Tho four remining
N/PDR@39, still operated cfficiontly and sccacd to bo in good working order.

.€mc (1) cach Beckman M5, and onc (1) cach LN/POR]274 wis brought alo:
for any low intensity checks necessary. Two (2) cach calibrated iN/POR-TLB, we:

on hand to scrvo as sparcs in the cvent of opcrational failure with the /N/PUR-:
None of these instrumnts woro roquircd.

Tho average and ovcimim gaoma doso rates measured on tho various islanc

of cach atoll are plottcd in Figures 1 threugh 5.

All moasurcacnts were mde at

waist hoight unlcss cthorwieo intiicatcd, Tho moxtmim readings do not include
Moasurements made with the instrumcnt next to a contaminated surfacc,

Dotailed surveys were mido of all the inhabitcd loenlitics., Tynpicsl
readings are given in Tables 1 and 2 for tho nativo villago of Rongclap [siand,
and the TG 7.4 camp on Miwctak Island, In gencral, tho villages and thc caps
appeared te havo slightly lower avcrago doe ratcs than the remainder of tho

island,

This can perhaps bc ascribed to differcat geometry of tho contaninatios

and to slightly greater penctration into the loosc gravel in the native villag::
Tho desc rates inside the native huts apposred to bo almost tho samo as ths dos:
rato cuteide. The doso rato in the middle of tho military barracks, tcnts, and

shacks was 1/3 to 1/2 that outside. This reduction is probably largely a gcosc:

effect. The doso rato fcll off rapidly on tho bases below the high tide mrk,
There was no cvidence of rain washing off thc combaainatod mtcrial. The foila
on tho windward aides of tho islands appcarod ¥ ba slightly abowo avcrage con=
tamination.
