Abstract: A radiological survey of Bikini and Eneu Islands of the Bikini
Atoll was conducted during June 1975 to assess the potential radiation
doses that may be received by the returning Bikinians. Bikini Atoll was
one of the US nuclear weapons testing sites in the Pacific. An integral
part of the survey included measurements of the gamma-ray exposure
rates at 1m above the ground with portable NaI instruments at nearly
2700 locations on the two islands. For comparison purposes, similar
measurements were made with a pressurized ion chamber at approximately
200
locations,
and with LiF and CaF{sub 2}:Dy thermoluminescent
dosimeters (TLDs) at 80 locations. The results indicate that the Nal
scintillators overresponded because of their nonlinear energy
characteristics. The responses of the LiF dosimeters and the
pressurized ion chamber agreed to within 13%. Attenuation studies with
LiF TLDs indicated that roughly 25% of the total free air exposure rate
at 1 m was due to beta radiation.
