fallouc during the Pacific Testing Programs.

Sufficiene data were available to ascertaix realistic dose predictions for
the inhabitants of Rongelap and Utirik Ato.ls where the 30 year integral
doses from external sources exclusive sf backgrounc radiation were 0.65
and 0.06 rem respectively.
These estimates are based on realistic lifestyle models based cn observations of each ato | community.
