REMARKS:
~The dose-rate contours were obtained by ground survey readings made by
scientific projects.
Actual decay measurements were used to correct
the dose-rate readings to H+tl hour.
The portion of the pattern on the
island is reliable.
That portion which is over water is less reliable
because it was not based upon free-field dose-rate readings but upon
calculations made from readings taken on rive barges and from samples

collected in sticky pans mounted on 87 buoys.
