The standard deviation observed for the adult activity ingestion rate distributron was 41% of the mean value, acolescents, 38% for children, 39% of the mean value for young adults, 48% for and 54% for infants. Adolescents and infants exiibited a broader distribution than adults, while children showed a fractional Variation in activity ingestion rate similar to that of adults. Breast feeding versus coconut sap supplements would have contributed to the greater variation onserved in infants. Adolescents and young adults were the population subgroups which have been observed to move frequently between atolls. This mobility would ivad to greater variations in the daily activity ingestion rates relative to tnose observed in the more stationary populacion subgroups.

Its major impact was on the dose equivalent rate, not on the total dose equivalent; and its effect was to cause the dose equivalent rate for males to rise and decline more rapidly than for females. Figures 13a and 13b summarize the individual data for 905, for all Rongelap residents and were referenced to June l, 1957. A bimodal shape was ovserved for the distributions which contained both sexes, again reflecting the difference in the 906, dietary rate constants. Data from urine bioassay indicated that the observed difference between the male and female values for Ke was not significant. A t-test was performed for consecutive urine measurement data during the 23 year residence interval. 28 The results indicate that because
