_ some degree of epilation.
It is to be recalled that:
{a) the natives probably were out—-of-
doors end received the full fallout, (b) tis olly hair, sect-naked perspiring bodies including bare feet, and lack of bathing for most would tend
to @eollect and hold the fallout material,
¢) the tine of delivery of essen
tially all of the doses was tuo to three days.
Prrther, it may be specu-
lated that the fallout on the more distant island ef Utirik (about 300
statute miles)
would eonsist of enaller particles and also perhaps lesser
possibility of overlapping of radiation fielcs fror these particles,
Sowe of the relevant data are sumaa-ised in table TI].
Due to the
uncertainty of the degree of exposure of persone. on Rongerik to the direct
fallout, this group is cot included,
