Country of Origin: United States Abstract: Recent assessments of potential radiation exposure pathways at Bikini and Enewetak have indicated that doses in excess of current radiation protection guidelines are possible or even likely for persons living in these areas. Rongelap and Utirik Atolls, which were downwind of the 1954 BRAVO event, also received significant fallout; potential radiological problems exist in these areas as well. In view of this prospect, followup environmental monitoring and personnel monitoring programs are being established to maintain our cognizance of radiological conditions, and to take corrective action where necessary. Various aspects of this program require the operation of scientific equipment in remote areas which have no electrical power. In order to solve this problem, windpowered electrical generators were installed on three islands in a planned program through which they will be turned over to the local inhabitants for community use after about two years. This paper describes environmental surveillance efforts for the inhabitants of Pacific Islands who were the recipients of radioactive fallout from US nuclear weapons tests in the Pacific.; Major Descriptors: *FALLOUT -- ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE PATHWAY; *MARSHALL ISLANDS -- RADIATION MONITORING; *RADIATION MONITORING -- WIND TURBINES + *RADIOISOTOPES -- RADIOECOLOGICAL CONCENTRATION Descriptors: AIR SAMPLERS; DOSE RATES; ELECTRIC GENERATORS; FOOD CHAINS; NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS Broader Terms: ECOLOGICAL CONCENTRATION; EQUIPMENT; EXPLOSIONS; ISLANDS; ISOTOPES; LABORATORY EQUIPMENT; MACHINERY; MICRONESIA; MONITORING; OCEANIA; SAMPLERS; TURBINES; TURBOMACHINERY Subject Categories: 510302* -- Environment, Terrestrial ~-- Radioactive Materials Monitoring & Transport -- Terrestrial Ecosystems & Food Chains 10/5/811 00732808 Author(s): -- (-1987) (Item 511 from file: 103) ERA-06-012798; INS-81-004922; Robison, W.L.; Noshkin, V.E.
