RADIATION EXPOSURE POTENTIAL.
sonnel
The radiation exposures of
project per-
(as opposed to the people inadvertently exposed) were limited to
exposure at the contaminated atolls at the time of evacuation,[fexposure at
the time of surveys made somewhat later, and exposures during
tion of evacuation equipment

The
exposures presented in Chapters 8 and 9 should be consulted for the organizations involved.
