Abstract: External and internal doses are reconstructed for the 28 American
servicemen stationed on Rongerik Atoll, Marshall Islands, who were
exposed to fallout on 1-2 March 1954 from Shot Bravo of Operation
CASTLE. External doses are determined from limited radiation survey and
film-badge information. Internal-dose commitments are derived from
urinalysis data. The magnitude of the calculated activity intake
suggests the principal pathways. Reconstructed film-badge doses are
approximately 40 rem, with adjustments from individual activity
scenarios, as available. Internal dose commitments to the thyroid and
large intestine (nearly all first-year dose) provide the only
significant increments to the external dose. Total doses are
approximately 230 rem to the thyroid, 115 rem to the lower large

intestine,

85 rem to the upper large intestine,

to all other organs.

Abstract: The salinity, depth, quantity, and reliability of fresh

groundwater resources on coral reef islands and coastlines are
environmentally important parameters. Groundwater influences or
controls the terrestrial flora, salinity, and nutrient levels in the
near-shore benthic environment,
