Table 2-11 summarizes the daily contributions to the total integrated intensity
on the LST-551 due to fallout (topside) and ship contamination (below).
2.2.12 USS LST-762
‘
On | March, the LST-762 was anchored off Parry Island, Enewetak Atoll, and
probably received fallout from Shot BRAVO. Although shipboard radiological data was
not obtained or documented on the LST-762 following Shot BRAVO, it is assumed that
it received the same fallout as experienced on the residence islands of Enewetak
during the evening of 1 March (see Section 2.2.1 and Figure 2-3).
During the period 27-30 March, LST-762 was again anchored off Enewetak when
Shot ROMEO fallout occurred on the atoll. Again, no radiological survey data on the
LST-762 was recorded, but it is assumed that the ship received the same fallout (see
Section 2.2.1 and Figure 2-4),
On 27 April, the LST-762 got underway from Enewetak enroute to Pear! Harbor.
On 4& May, LST-975 rendezvoused with LST-762 and took it in tow for the remainder of
its trip to Pearl.
Two days later, on 6 May, both ships began receiving fallout from
