ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS OF DEVICE ENVIRONMENT
The sea water analysis is after Sverdrup (Reference 64), except U which was determined from a Bikini lagoon water
sample taken just prior to Tewa.
The remaining analyses were made at NRDL for Project 2.6a, Operation Castle
(Reference 63), except the Ca and Mg reef values which were estimated from Reference 65.
