“The exposure rates in the immediate vicinity of the houses have been
reduced by a factor of two and eight for remedial actions a and b, respectively.
However, we have estimated that only 35 to 40% of the Bikinian's time will be
Spent in the vicinity of his house; therefore, the reduction in total dose is
relatively small because the total dose includes the exposure received from
the areas where he spends the other 60 to 65% of his time.
