The United States Department of
Energy and the Energy Research and Development Administration
financially supported this book which provides a historical account of
radiological safety in nuclear weapons testing during World War II.
The author relied on archival sources and the oral testimony of
participants and eyewitnesses.
He provides a bibliography with full

Abstract: We have updeated the radiological dose assessment for Enjebi
Island at Enewetak Atoll using data derived from analysis of food crops
grown on Enjebi. This is a much more precise assessment of potential
doses to people resettling Enjebi Island than the 1980 assessment in
which there were no data available from food crops on Enjebi. Details
of the méthods and data used to evaluate each exposure pathway are
presented. The terrestrial food chain is the most significant potential
exposure pathway and /sup 137/Cs is the radionuclide responsible for
most of the
estimated dose over the next 50 y. The doses are calculated
assuming a resettlement date of 1990. The average wholebody maximum
annual estimated dose equivalent derived using our diet model is 166
mremy;the effective dose equivalent is 169 mremy.
