REMARKS:
Only island dose-rate readings are available.
These were obtained
from aerial and ground surveys made by the Radiological Safety orpranization.
Whe t-l+? decay approximation was used to extrapolate the
dose-rate readings to H+l hour.
Heavy contamination from this shot,
fired on central Yvonne, was limited primarily to the shot island.
However, the photo tower on Mack was highly contaminated from the
fallout.
