The percentages for each isotope are relatively unchanging with depth. Since the standard deviation in the concentration measurements is sometimes quite large (see Table 2), this suggests our second assumption is also reasonable. The percentage of the total exposure rate due to each of these isotopes was calculated for each of these sites using the average percentage concentration over all depths and compared with the field spectrometer data with excellent agreement. These results are given in Section III in the discussion of the Bikini Island data. The data from the analyses of all the soil samples obtained on the other islands of the atoll were then used in a similar manner to estimate the percentage of the average total exposure rate around the site due to each isotope in the soil. During the 1964 Bikini Atoll survey a number of soil samples had also been obtained and analyzed by the University of Washington. None of these samples were from exactly the same locations as the 1967 samples; however, this calculation of percentage of total exposure rate due to each emitter was also done for these data. The results in general were consistent with the 1967 results. On islands where **’Cs was the primary contributor in 1964, it still is in 1967. On
