For purposes of the above calculation, the exposure rate on the beach was
assumed constant at 10 yR/hr,
on the water at 5 yR/hr, and for the village
the modified (mean/2) exposure rate was used.
It is felt that all of
these estimates are conservative.
THERMOLUMINESCENT DOSIMETER PROGRAM
As a check on the validity of the ganma exposure rates as measured by
survey meters,
thermoluminescent dosimeters were placed at six locations
on Eneu and twelve locations on Bikini.
Three dosimeters were placed
at each location and left for approximately thirty days.
meters were then collected and shipped by air to

One set of three dosimeters served as controls for each
placement period.
Survey meter readings at these locations ranged
from essentially zero to ninety yR/hr.
