Technical Progress in BY-2 (FY 1979) (cont.)

with the BRAVO test will be continued.
Technical Progress in BY-1 (FY 1980).
Dose estimates derived for exposure during fallout, will be extrapolated
to present times and the model(s) used will be tested for their validity based
on current observed dose determinations.

Future Accomplishments.

..

The techniques and expertise developed in the course of this study could
be used to reassess doses to population in other areas subjected to exposure
from fallout or even occupational situations in the past.
19h.

Relationship to Other Protects.
a.

This study will help establish dose estimates from the time
of the incident to the present, and will complement the

aerial

survey for external radiaton measurements, over these islands,
which has been completed. Together they should present a reliable picture of doses received by the populations and also
enable dose estimates to be projected into the future.
b.

This study will be in close conjunction with the BNL Radiological Safety Program in the .MarshallIslands and with related programs of the BNL Medical Department. Continued
collaboration with the University of Washington, Laboratory
of Radiation Ecology, and the Battelle Pacific Northwest
Laboratory will be maintained
and data interpretation.
