ABSTRACT
Residents of Bikini Atoll were moved from their home Atoll on 31 August
1978.
Since that time, they have been relocated either to Kili Island, or to
'Majuro and Ejit Islands at Majuro Atoll.
Whole body counting and urine bioassay
were performed on this population ia January and May 1979, and body burdens for
‘nuclides positively identified were determined from both techniques.
Data from
these measurements have been used to calculate long term biological removal rate
constants for
137
Cs and
60
~"Co and to relate the long term rate constant for
137
Cs
to total body mass.
