Country of Origin: United States Country of Publication: United States Abstract: This study summarizes information on diet and living patterns for the Marshallese. The data was derived from literature, answers to questionnaires, personal observations while living with the Marshallese for periods extending from months to years, and from direct participation in their activities. The results reflect the complex interactions of many influences, such as, the gathering of local foods the receipt of food aid through programs, such as, school-lunch, typhoon-relief, food. distributed to populations displaced as a result of nuclear testing, and in recent times the availability of cash for the purchase of imported foods. The results identify these influences and are therefore restricted to local food diets while recognizing that the living patterns are changing as local food gathering is replaced by other food supplies. The data will therefore provide the necessary information for input into models that will assess the radiological impacts attributable to the inhabitation of the Marshall Islands. It is recommended that this study should be continued for at least two to three years in order to more accurately identify trends in local food consumption and living patterns.; Major Descriptors: *HUMAN POPULATIONS -- QUALITY OF LIFE; -- DIET; *MARSHALL ISLANDS -- LIFE STYLES Broader Terms: ISLANDS; MICRONESIA; OCEANIA; POPULATIONS *MARSHALL ISLANDS Subject Categories: 570000* -- Health & Safety INIS Subject Categories: C52* -- Radiation Hazards & Safety Evaluations of Nuclear Installations 10/5/805 (Item 505 from file: 103) 00744017 ERA-06-017421; EDB-81-052274 Title: Regulatory analysis Author(s): Baalman, R.W.; Hays, I.D.

However, the principal effort conducted under this part of the program concerned the preparation of a booklet to support a DOE co presentatipn to the people of Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The-~ Meaning of Radiation at Bikini Atoll describes current radiological conditions resulting from nuclear weapons tests and was drafted in
