THE RADIATION DOSE TO TASK FORCE RAZOR PERSONNEL PARTICIPATING IN THE APPLE II EVENT OF OPERATION TEAPOT, EXERCISE DESERT ROCK VI, IS RECON STRUCTED. TASK FORCE PERSONNEL WERE EXPOSED TO INITIAL RADIATION WHIL E IN THEIR VEHICLES OR IN TRENCHES AT THE TIME OF APPLE II DETONATION. THEY WERE ALSO EXPOSED TO RESIDUAL RADIATION DURING THEIR SUBSEQUENT MANUEVER AND DURING AN INSPECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT DISPLAY AREA. THE CALCULATED TOTAL GAMMA DOSES TO FULLY-PARTICIPATING TASK FORCE PERSON NEL RANGE FROM ABOUT 0.8 REM TO 1.8 REM. THE HIGHEST DOSE WAS RECEIVE D BY PERSONNEL OF THE ARMORED INFANTRY PLATOON ON RIGHT FLANK NEAREST GROUND ZERO. INTERNAL RADIATION DOSE COMMITMENTS TO MAXIMALLY EXPOSED PERSONNEL INSIDE VEHICLES ARE ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 0.4 REM TO THE THYROID, 0.003 REM WHOLE BODY, AND 0.002 REM TO THE BONE.
