Estimated integral whole-body, external gamma doses for the first yr
and for 30 yr.
Values include contributions resulting from natural
background radiation of about 0.027 rem for a first-yr dose and 0.80
rem for a 30-yr dose.
For comparison, the Federal radiation guideline

(total of external and internal doses)

is 0.5 rem/yr for indi-

viduals and 5 rem for 30 yr for a population average.
lines are in addition to natural background.

The exposure rates in the immediate vicinity of the houses have been reduced
by a factor of two and eight for remedial actions a and b, respectively.

However, we have estimated that only 35 to 40% of the Bikinian's time will be
spent in the vicinity of his house; therefore, the reduction in total dose is
relatively small because the total] dose includes the exposure received from
the areas where he spends the remainder of his time.

(Patterns 2, 3a, and 3b); the 30-yr

Island lead to the lowest external

doses (excluding natural background)

exposure doses.

for these pattems range from 3.2 to
