The principal objectives of this project were: (1) the determination of total gamma-radiation dose and dose rate histories aboard three moored ships exposed to radiological environments at locations of possible operational interest about the surface zeros of two underwater nuclear detonations, shots Wahoo and Umbrella; (2) estimation of remote-source gamma-radiation dose and dose-rate histories at exposed weather-deck locations aboard ships; (3) estimation of total gamma-radiation dose and dose-rate histories in the water adjacent to the ships; and (4) measurement of gamma-jonization decay of a fallout sample collected on one ship a few minutes after each shot. Although radiation from the water may have influenced the compartment/deck dose-rate ratios to a considerable degree at later times, the contribution of contaminated water to the total dose observed aboard the ships was probably of little significance. -V DSTRBLCT ON AVAILABILITY OF ABSTRACT A} oxcassp eden sitea CD sane as aer Canc sseas w0d NANTES DF AESPONS BLE NOIWIOUAL ABSTRACT SECURITY CLASSIFICATION UNCLASSIFIED 220 TE_EPRONE (inctude Ares Code) Mark D.
