Results for Lojwa
With the exception of the Biliae (Wilma)
606 results, the percent difference between the two types of means
for a given island and isotope does not exceed 16 percent.
the most part it is less. than 7 percent.
In fact, for
The Billae (Wilma) 60¢5
means reflect the difference expected when a Significant number of the
measurement results are less than the MDA and the maximum observed is
not significantly higher.

In our calculations of the external dose due to }3’cs and
6065, we have used the meen values based on the actuel measurement
results for the islands Enjebi (Janet) through Billae (Wilma).
For
Aomon (Sally) we have weighted the mean results for Aomon (Sally) and
Aomon (Sally) west tip according to their respective areas:
approxi-
mately 40 hectares for Aomon (Sally) and approximately 3.4 hectares for
Aomon (Sally) west tip. .In the case of the southem islands, Jinedrol
(Alvin) through Kidrenen (Keith), we have used the results reported in
reference 1 (pg.
501):
0.2 R/éh for M37es and 0.1 R/h for 606,,
Decayed from 1973 to 1979,
the externel exposure rates
for 137o5 and
606 among the southern islands are currently estimated at 0,174 and
0.0454
R/h, respectively.
To convert from exposure rates to dose
rates, a factor of 6.24 mrem/y per uR/h was used.
Beta doses have been measured on Enjebi
Bokombako (Belle) Island at Enewetak Atoll.?

The measurements were
made at 1 meter height using thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLD's) with
