5. An hourly reporting schedule for the off-site monitoring stations
was commenced at 0700M.

All off-site stations contimed to report normal

background readings through D+2 days.

6.

A reading of 80 mr/hr at H+6 hours at 10,000 feet was obtained by

one cloud tracking aircraft 60 miles northeast of BIKINI.

The same reading

was recorded at H+12 hours by a weather reporting aircraft 300 miles north-

east at 30,000 feet.

The maximm recorded reading was 110 mr/hr at 10,000

feet, 80 miles northwest of BIKINI at H+l1 hours, -

7. A sharp rise to 3 mr/hr was noted at PARRY Island at 17)5M, 26
June 1956, with an equally sharp decline to background.

Two mre peaks

were recorded, one of 3.75 mr/hr at 1900M, 26 June, and another of 0.75
mr/hr at 2330M, 26 June. These peaks are attributed to "shine" from the
pessing overhead of a radioactive cloud since the decrease was far too
repid for decay.
