of the decontemination, at the highest count rate recorded by the Japanese. An additional 2-3 millircentgen total may have been ac- cepted between this time and our arrival at Rabaul (total 300 hours). 6. The infinite gamma dose, even with no decontamination of the TAKUYO, would have been an insignificant amount. Using Japanese data, the dose calculates to be about 85 milliroentgens. 7. The exposure of the TAKUYO and crew to an insignificant radiation dose resulted from a very local and transitory rain-out of not more than 30 minutes duration. 8. The analysis of the drinking water samples collected from the TAKUYO and the SATUMA show no evidence of radioactive contamination. 9. There is no evidence at this time of any detectible effects resulting from exposure to ionizing radiation. 10. vessel. There have been no cases of radiation sickness on either Any complaints of illness subsequent to 14 July 1958 were due to other céuses; i.e., possible infectious hepatitis or other intercurrent iliness. . ll. There will be no detectible effects, and, in the light of present medical knowledge, no deleterious effects, in fact, resulting from the minimal radiation exposure experienced, as calculated by us. i2. There was no detectible evidence of redioactive contamina- tion of personnel at the time of examination. 13. There is no medical indication for restriction of the normal activities of any of the personnel of either vessel. DOE ARCHIVES “y
