4 Concentration ratios for 241 Am are similar to those for 239+240py,

Value following e notation indicates power of ten. For example, 5.le-4 is equal to

5.1 x 1077.

C Assumed to be the same as Pandanusfruit.
Assumedto be the same as copra meat.

We were also unable to collect coconut crabs at all atolls.

For atolls other than

Rongelap, Utirik, Rongerik, and Ailinginae where coconut crabs were collected at one or
several islands, the average radionuclide concentration was used for the entire atoll.
When no coconut crabs were found, the radionuclide concentration was determined by

using the average value observed at the atolls where coconut crabs were collected
because the external gamma measurements and radionuclide concentrations in soil and

vegetation were very similar.

For Rongelap, Utirik, Rongerik, and Ailinginae, direct

measurements or concentration ratios were used.
