An additional 2-3 milliroentgen total may have been ac-

The infinite gamma dose, even with no decontamination of
the TAKUYO, would have been an insignificant amoumt.
Using Japanese
data, the dose calculates to be about 85 millirocentgens.

‘The exposure of the TAKUYO and crew to an insignificant
radiation dose resulted from 4 very local and transitory rain-out of
not more than 30 minutes duration.

The analysis of the drinking water samples collected from
the TAKUYO and the SATUMA show no evidence of radioactive contamination.
