Living Patterns the major islands at each atoll Doses have been estimated for on each island and all local food assuming a continuous residence the islandslisted are only used part derived from that island. Some of purposes, but we have estimated time for residence or for agricultural pation to indicate the dose relative the dose assuming continuous occu to current residence islands. Body and Organ Weights ed to determine the body Data from BNE have been summariz [25,45]. The average, adult male weights of the Marshallese people for Enewetak, 61 kg for Rongelap, body weight is 72 kg for Bikini, 71 kg is 69.9 kg, very near the 70mean and 69 kg for Utirik, the weighted a result, we have used 70 kg as the kg value of reference man [46].
