YAG-40. After fallout ceased, crews to YAG-39, the Molala and the Tawakoni returge a the if radiological conditions warranted. If “AG-34 were reboarded, she returned under her own power; otherwise, both shid towed back to the Enewetak Lagoon off Parry Island, where the gh derwent a radiological survey and, if necessary, decontamination, ship was positioned in the fallout area during BRAVO because of culation in predicting the fallout location and thus did not req decontamination; nor did shot UNION contaminate either chip. YAG fo be decontaminated following shot ROMEO, and both ships were dekortaminated after shot YANKEE. Shot activities are summarized in Table]77. Thirty men on board YAG-39 and thirty-three men on board YAG-q0 accumulated exposures in excess of 3.3 R. “4.39 R. The nighest exposure assessda@d was This was made up of 4.39 R from film badge readings for [che tests prior to YANKEE plus an ecttimate of 20.0 R for YANKEE according to medical records.

After the tests, the ships remained at Enewetak until 26 M for additional decontamination before sailing ,to San Francisco via Peafl Harbor. By 25 Mav the average tcpside reading for YAG-23 was 0.007 Ryfnr, with average interior and below-deck readings of 0.002 R/hr. Thes# levels were expected to be down to 0.004 R/hr and 0.001 R/hr, respectively , act the time of arrival at Pearl Harbor, and 0.003 R/hr and 0.0005 R/h Francisco. Crewmembers were expected to receive 0.5 to 1 R on theftripd to San Francisco. Readings for YAG-40 were higher: at 0.040 R/hr topsidd@ and 0.008 R/hr inside on 25 May, with 0.025 R/hr and 9.004 R/hr expect at Pearl Harbor, and 0.014 R/hr and 0.002 R/hr at San Francisco. tional exposure for the crew was expected to be 3 to 5 R. The San Bddi- Subsequa@ht in- that YAG-40 was in transit to San Francisco disclosed that their men ex-~ posure was 1.676 R, with an exposure range of 90.705 R to 4.56 R, soflewhat less than the initially expected exposure. not reflected in the Consolidated List. 364 These additional exposufes are For two of the YAG crew, ¢
