Country of Origin: United States Country of Publication: United States Abstract: A bibliographic summary of reports published, submitted, in press or presented at meetings was included. A discussion of 3 crui’ses taken to collect samples from water, sediment cores, and plankton tows was also included. The geographical areas covered on these cruises were: (1) downwind and down-current from the U.S. Pacific Test Site, (2) across the equator in the Central Pacific, and (3) the Mid-Pacific Gyrie region. Maps are included. Samples were analyzed for a cesium 137, and plutonium on the ship. The samples were also retained for further radionuclide analysis and taxonomy (plankton) at Woods Hole. The dredging operations and problems encounted with in-situ water filtrations and chemical preparations on the first cruise were also discussed. Nutrient analysis of seawater was performed on the second cruise. The results of testing a new recording instrument are included for the third cruise.; Major Descriptors: *ENIWETOK -- MARINE SURVEYS; *PACIFIC OCEAN -- MARINE SURVEYS Descriptors: AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS; CESIUM 137; ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSPORT; OCEANOGRAPHY; PLANKTON; PLUTONIUM; RADIONUCLIDE MIGRATION; SAMPLING; SEAWATER; SEDIMENTS Broader Terms: ACTINIDES; ALKALI METAL ISOTOPES; AQUATIC ORGANISMS; BETA DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; BETA-MINUS DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; CESIUM ISOTOPES; ECOSYSTEMS; ELEMENTS; ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSPORT; HYDROGEN COMPOUNDS; ISLANDS; ISOTOPES; MARSHALL ISLANDS; MASS TRANSFER; METALS; MICRONESIA; NUCLEI; OCEANIA; ODD-EVEN NUCLEI; OXYGEN COMPOUNDS; RADIOISOTOPES; SEAS ; SURFACE WATERS; TRANSURANIUM ELEMENTS; WATER; YEARS LIVING RADIOISOTOPES Subject Categories: 520300* -- Environment, Aquatic -- Radioactive Materials Monitoring & Transport -- (1989) 580500 -- Oceanography -- (1980-1989) INIS Subject Categories: B32* -- Water 10/5/921 00574141 Author(s): (Item 621 from file: EBRA-05-006238; Greenhouse, 103) INS-80-001356; N.A.

ERA Availability: Dep. NTIS, PC A02/MF AOQl. 5 Nov 1979 - (Energy Research Abstracts); TIc f Country of Origin: United States Country of Publication: United States Abstract: The US Government utilized Bikini and Enewetak Atolls in the northern Marshall Islands of Micronesia for atomspheric tests of nuclear explosives in the 1940’s and 1950's. The original inhabitants of these atolls were relocated prior to the tests. During the early 1970’s, a small but growing population of Marshallese people reinhabited Bikini. Environmental and personnel radiological monitoring programs were begun in 1974 to ensure that doses and dose commitments received by Bikini residents remained within US Federal Radiation Council guidelines. Dramatic increases in /sup 137/Cs body burdens among the inhabitants between April 1977 and 1978 may have played a significant role in the government decision to move the 140 Bikinians in residence off of the atoll in August 1978.
