Abstract: This section describes several studies of exposed individuals and
the actual in vivo measurements made at this laboratory during the past
three years. In all cases, the nuclides being measured are bone seekers
and were measured with NalI(T1l1)-CsI(Tl)

surrounding the head.

detectors above the thorax or

The studies include the measurement of

occupational contamination for /sup 241/Am, metabolic studies of /sup
241/Am in a child and his father, estimation of employee exposures to
compounds of depleted uranium, measurements of residents of the

Marshall Islands and measurement of occupational contamination for lead

Abstract: We are using a transponding geostationary satellite to collect
surface environmental data to describe the fate of soil-borne
radionuclides. The remote, former atomic testing grounds at the

Eniwetok and Bikini Atolls present a difficult environment in which to

collect continuous field data. Our land-based, solar-powered
microprocessor and environmental data systems remotely acquire
measurements of net and total

solar radiation,

rain,

humidity,
