19 ABSTRACT (Continue on reverse if necessary and identify by block number}

Film badge doses are reconstructed for sixteen ships and the residence islands of Enewetak
and Kwajalein Atolls resulting*from the six nuclear detonations comprising Operation CASTLE

(March-May 1954).

Fallout from Shots BRAVO and ROMEO was the major source of contamination

Varying amounts of fallout from Shots UNION, YANKEE, and
on most of the ships and islands.
NECTAR contributed somewhat to the total doses pf the shipboard and island-based personnel;
no fallout was experienced as a result of Shot KOON.
Shipboard personnel received addi~
tional exposure from hulls and salt water piping systems that had become contaminated from
operating in the radioactive waters of Bikini Lagoon.

From the reconstructed radiation environments, both topside and below, an equivalent film
