URINE SPECIMENS
A single urine specimen (24 hours) was @ollected from the Trust Territory
resident at BIKINI.
Another was obtained from a team member.
These
samples were analyzed and indicated no detectable plutonium activity.

.
Tritium in well water is present at low concentrations; the maximum value
found was 14 pCi/ml, or 4300 tritium units, at Nam I., whereas at Bikini
-and Engu Islands the concentration was 2 pCi/ml, or approximately 600 T.U.
These values fall within the range of tritium concentrations in surface
| waters of the United States in 1966. It has been shown that there is

approximately 10°
times more tritium in bound water than in loose water in

soils at Eniwetok Atoll, \but thay there is little exchange of the bound

water with the loose water fence] it is probable that there will be no
‘major changes in the tritium concentration of well water at Bikini Atoll.
