Radiation historics

were obtained on all three ships durin~ shot Umbrella, althouch some data was
lost because of shock damaze.

Preliminary results indicate thet weather-deck

dose buildup ranged between 600 r received » thin 0.5 minute at 2,000 feet
from surface zero and 45 r received wit*in 2 minutes at 8,000 feet.

Dose

reductions by factors less than 6 were sobtaiic2 for all compartments above
the waterline, and dose reduction factors zreater then 9 were obtained only
in machinery spaces below the waterline.

Tronsit raciation appeared to re-

present a high percentage of the t:-tal redierior observed ahoerd the ships.
In the one case where the data was obtained, the underwater radiation did
not contribute to the total radiation mezsured aboard snip.

Data on gammae

jonization decay was obtained for tn cercoc from 0.1 to 34.8 hours after

instrumented witn total and tine-incremental eir samplers, surface samplers,
