19 ABSTRACT (Continue on reverse if necessary and identify by block number)

Film badge doses are reconstructed for sixteen ships and the residence islands of Enewetak
and Kwajalein Atolls resulting from the six nuclear detonations comprising Operation CASTLE
(Marcii-May 1954).
Fallout from Shots BRAVO and ROMEO was the major source of contamination
on most of

the ships and islands.

Varying amounts of

fallout

from Shots UNION,

YANKEE,

and

NECTAR contributed somewhat to the total deses of the shipboard and island-based personnel;
no fallout was experienced as a result of Shot KOON.
Shipboard personnel received additional exposure from hulls and salt water piping systems that had become contaminated from
operating in the radioactive waters of Bikini Lagoon.

From the reconstructed radiation environments, both topside and below, an equivalent film
Agreement is very good
badge dose is calculated and compared to actual dosimetry data.
When topside intensities
during badged periods when the ships received significant fallout.
