Abstract: Studies on marine ecology included marine pollution; distribution
patterns of Pu and Am in the marine waters,
Bikini Atoll and the influence of physical,

sediments, and organisms of
chemical, and biological

factors on their movements through marine biogeochemical systems;
transfer and dispersion of organic pollutants from an oil refinery
through coastal waters; transfer of particulate pollutants, including
sediments dispersed during construction of offshore power plants; and
raft culture of the mangrove oysters. (HLW);

Abstract: The Division of Operational Safety’s portion of the Pacific
Radioecology Program began in 1974 and it is a continuing program to
determine the kinds and amounts of radionuclides distributed in the
foods, plants, animals, and soils of the Central Pacific, especially
the Marshall Islands.
