The changes are summarized in Tab 1.
It may be seen

people is increased from 5.6 rem to 6.8 rem,

our calculated
30 year whole body dose for people returning to Enewetak
and the southern islands is increased from 0.23 rem to
0.38 rem,
or from the old estimates of 8 mrem per year
to 13 mrem per year
(page

The resulting revisions
of the average doses to the whole Enewetak people increase
the whole body dose from 2.36 rem to 2.9 rem, or from 79
mrem per year to a revised éstimate of 98 mrem per year
(page 5).
For the case of a child born eight years after
the return to Enjebi,
the situation expected to cause the
largest risk of genetic effects,
the former calculated
4.9 rem 30 year whole body dose is revised to 6.1 rem,
or from about 163 to about 204 mrem per year.
