aa bd. RongsIap Sixty-five natives were evacuated to Kwajalein and a y have received doses as high as 130 roentgens in a period of $1 hours. ta tails case, the leval of radiation is about the level which might cause scae symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, fatiguability and loss of hair for acute doses. Allowing for the reduced effect fran low dose rate it zay happen that symptoms as above will occur in individuals who were alread y 11] or is generally poor physical condition. Readings of sicin and hair contam ination were such that for this exposure tise spotty distribution of beta burns could occur within several days. If this occurs, ulcerations might develo p which may require several months to heal. Cc. AiLinginas Seventeen natives cn this island were exposed to ap 80 roentgens in 58 hours. They were evacuated to Kwajalein. It was not expected that any subjective systemic symptoms wuld develop. However, personal contamination of this duration could conceivably cause beta burns in a spotty distribution with alceration as described above. d. Thirty - rr . 15a natives were evacuated to Kwajalein after receiving a dese of 17 roentgens in 78 hours. Mo subjective systexic ayuptons or changes in blood count were expected. Seta burns are umilikely but are possible statistically, e. Allok with 401 natives was not evacuated and the total dose for a life time will be less than 20 roentgens. No medical problem frua radiation should occar in the population. f. Same other Lelands received fall-out exposing inhabitants te inaignificant quamtities of radiation. 6- Task Force personnel at or in the vicinity of Bikini Atoll - Personnel in the concrete bunxer on NAN island were evacuated to ships afloat receiving in general coxzparable dosage to those aboard shize all the tise. Based on readings taken aboard the ships it was estizated <bet none of the ship's pereonnel would receive more than 10 roent gens whole body ation. This doge would not cacse any general sy=ptoas of radiation ef ss, however, decontazination personnel might have akin cop tact with concentrated radicactive deposits and possibly sustain ciid beta burns. 6 All native evacuees were held at Kwajalein for cbservstion ant treatment should the need arise. The station medical complement took com plete blood counts, zace paysical exacinations and tock histories. Captais BS, 3. Haight, (MC), USN, a radiolcgical medical officer was sext to Cwala- le‘n as caneultant co radiation effects to the staticn mrgeon. Daily ob servation was instituted in anticipation of the arrival of a sedical group fron the U. S. who were to investigate the patiexts. x
