2.2.2 Kwajalein Atoll On Kwajalein Atoll, measurable fallout occurred after Shots BRAVO, ROMEO, and YANKEE, while Shots KOON, UNION, and NECTAR produced no fallout. As on Enewetak, al! fallout was secondary in nature and low in intensity. The Naval Station at Kwajalein provided basing support to Patrol Squadron TWENTY-NINE (VP-29) during Operation CASTLE (Reference 15). This squadron supported the AEC's worldwide fallout monitoring program with aerial radiation survey flights following each of the CASTLE events. The results of these survey flights, which included Kwajalein, were converted to ground intensities using experimentally- determined air-ground correction factors (Reference 10). ground survey data for Kwajalein were recorded. of intensity data used for dose reconstructions. In some instances, actual These comprise the primary source In addition, a few intensity readings taken at the Naval Station were also recorded in Reference 10. The intensity data are summarized below.
