DOSE CALCULATIONS FOR USS MENDER (ARSD-2).
Although MENDERreceived fallout following Shots ROMEO and UNION,it occurred

either at such a timeorat such low levels that routine crew duties were probably not interrupted by
its presence. The daily film badge dose is calculated by multiplying the contributions to exposure,
both topside and below (from table 3.4), by the appropriate time-averaged shielding factor or
apportionmentfactor.

Contributions from each source are summed and converted to a film badge

dose. Cumulative film badge doses are given in table 4.4 for the period 24 March 1954 to 22 June
1954, when dose accural falls below 1 mrem per day.
