were those given by Johnson directly (Jo82) and the values for the tellurium isotopes were generated from reference man data in "Limits for Intakes of Radionuclides by Workers" (ICRP79). Tellurium isotope values in Table 13 for the ages less than adult were generated by ratio of the Johnson values for the appropriate iodine daughters. The thyroid absorbed dose for any age person per unit tellurium isotope activity intake was assumed proportional to the product of the adult value and the ratio of the iodine value. For example Te~132 rad per pCi for a six year old (see Table 13) would be the product of 0.22 (taken from the Te-~132 column of Table 13) and the ratio of 0.048 to 0.013 (taken from the I-132 column of Table 13). 3. Thyroid Absorbed Dose The product of age specific intake (see Table 12) and age specific thyroid absorbed dose per unit intake (see Table 13) was compiled for different ages in Table 14. The thyroid absorbed dose from all iodine and tellurium nu- clides was 8.0 times the dose due to I-131 at Rongelap Island. It was 10 times the dose due to I-13] at Sifo Island and 4.9 times the dose due to I-13] at Utirik Island. The dose evaluation by James (Ja64) for a 3.5 year old Rongelap girl was given as 1,445 rads (most probable value for ingestion). James assumed the total thyroid absorbed dose from ingestion of all iodine isotopes in fallout was 2.6 times the thyroid dose due to I-131. Since James based the total thy- roid dose on I~131 measurements in urine and this factor of 2.6, a significant hese difference between the Bikini Ash method and the James method occurs. Adjusting the James ingestion dose estimate by multiplying by the ratio of 8.0 to 2.6 increases the total thyroid absorbed dose estimate by James to 4,450 rads (most probable value for ingestion). The value for a 3.5 year old from Bikini Ash data was 3,580 rads, smaller than the adjusted James value. 35 The contribution
