The map following page 25, and the tabulation on pages 26 and 27, presents the estimated external gamma radiation exposures around the Nevada
Test Site from all tests except Operation Plumbbob.
The highest exposure has been at a motor court near Bunkerville,
Nevada, where about 15 people might have accumulated up to 6 roentgens
if they had continued to live there indefinitely.
"...The average exposure to only those communities around the Nevada
Test Site that experienced the greatest amount of fallout (0.2 roentgens
or more) is 0.6 roentgens for the six years since the regular nuclear tests
were started.
The round numbers are 58,000 man-roentgens for 100,000 people.
if the area consicersc sround the Nevada Test Site is enlarged to include
1,000,050 neople the average exposure is about 0.1 roenteens for the six
years, or at arate of about 1/2 roentgen per thirty years.
This is 1/20
