The mean correction was approximately 1.02.
Conse-
quentiv, we felt no need to correct the remaining 1976 or 1977 data for the
minor energy dependence encountered.
Results
A total of 112 RSS-111 measurements were taken on five atolls.

surveyed were Kabelle, Naen, Eniaetok and Rongelap.
The islands
Naen is located at the
northwest corner of the atoll, and Kabelle at the northeast corner.
Kabelle is
a significant copra resource; and both of these islands may be used for brief
visits, but neither of them is permanentiv inhabited.
These islands received a
Significant amount of fallout debris and consequently, are still substantially
more contaminated than the islands of Rongelap and Eniaetok,
