population estimated exposure.

Las Vegas, Nevada, had the second

highest. population estimated exposure but the estimated exposure was

quite low at 0.21 R.

Most of this estimated exposure, 0.17 R, was due

to event BEE.
Only a few events accounted for most of the population estimated

exposure. _Jhe data in Table 6 show that event HARRY resulted in 30,000
person-R; this is 35% of the total cumulative population estimated

exposure. The-three events, HARRY, BEE, and SMOKY, accounted for 57%
of the total: cumulative population estimated exposure.
The IMCEFD(SHS9) also attempted to estimate the uncertainties
associated with theircalculations.

They considered these sources of

uncertainty: 1) Fission-product decay rate, 2) Instrument response to

the mixed fission-product-Field as compared to calibration source,
3) Inaccuracy of instrument readings at lower exposure rates, 4) The
use of film badge data in the calculations as opposed to exposure-rate

measurements, 5) Analysis or interpolation to derive results for
communities where no exposure-rate measurements were made, and 6)
Uneven deposition of fallout.

Recently, Krey and Beck (Kr81) have measured the total areal

determined the ratio
