Introduction

The purpose of this appendix is to evaluate the potential annval
bone doses far adults and children for the six living ratterns considered
in the Enewetak Radiological Survey Report (nvo-140).

The bone doses

presented in NVO-140 were calculated fur mineral bone for adults as

integrated doses for 5-, 10-, 30-, and 70-yr pericds.

Fone and whole-

body doses to children were not considered separateiy because in most

of the food-chain dose and there is evidence to show that doses to
