Relationship to Other Projects. This program will function in cooperation with the BNL Medical Research Program in the Marshall Islands and will occasionally share the same logistical support resources for field trips. It will also function cooperatively with various Pacific research programs at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory; and especially with programs to develop predictive dose estimates for present and future residents on contaminated islands. The B~ program will provide retrospective dose information to aid in the development of prospective dose models by LLL. 19i. Environmental Assessment. Work done under this task proposal has either no environmental impact or has impacts similar to those described in and covered by BNL’s Environmental Impact Statement (ERDA 1540). 19j.
