1)
the dietary intake of 1376, was a major component contributing to the
committed effective dose equivalent for the years after the initial contamination of the atolls,

for persons whose diet included fish, 6575 was a major component of
committed effective dose equivalent during the first years post return,

the relative impact of each nuclide on the estimate of committed effec-
tive dose equivalent was dependent upon the time interval between initial contamination and rehabitation, and
5)
the internal committed effective dose equivalent exceeded the external
dose equivalent by a factor of 1.1 at Utirik and 1.5 at Rongelap during the
rehabitation period.
