REMARKS:
The dose-rate readings were corrected to H+l hour by applying the
t-1-? law to measurements made by the Radiological Safety organi-

zation. Measurements on Yvonne were made at H+83 hours. Many of
the measurements were obtained from a helicopter flying at an altitude

of 10 to 20 feet above the ground.
These readings may therefore be
low by as much as 20 to 50 percent.
The wind shear at about 20.000
feet acccunts for the higher dose rates on the southeastern part of
the atoll, as compared to the southern end of the shot island.
