Response to Question a. b. c. d. e. f. 1 It is my understanding that the 1978 survey of nuclear radiation in the northern Marshall Islands was undertaken to characterize the radiological environment of the islands. Because I was not a participant in the 1978 survey, I was not given information about the general directions advanced by DOE to the survey team. P Since I was hot a participant, I was not given information about It is my understanding that specific tasks that were to be undertaken. the results of the survey were to be documented in reports prepared by those performing the survey and published by the contractor organization, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. I have no personal knowledge of and have no copies of the scope, general directives, work documents, work plans or other documents which discuss the purpose of the survey. I do not have information about the total budget for the survey. Pacific Northwest Laboratory incurred costs of $156,397.41 in the preparation and printing of the DOE-1982 booklet, “The Meaning of Radiation for Those Atolls in the Northern Part of the Marshall Islands That Were Surveyed in 1978.” Response to Question 2 a. b. c. d. e. I do not have precise information about when the survey was initiated. I assume that the survey was completed with the publication of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s report, UCRL-52853 Pt. 5, dated August 1983. I do not know what the Rongelap people were told about the survey prior to their receipt of the DOE-1982 booklet. Marshallese government officials, including representatives of the Rongelap people, attended a meeting in Majuro in December 1982 at which the information contained in Marshallese in the DOE-1982 booklet was presented. I was present at the meeting. Also, in the spring of 1983 a DOE team visited Rongelap. I was not able to participate in the visit to Rongelap. I do not have knowledge about studies, reports, briefings, or other communications given the Rongelap people during the time the study team was engaged in its work. Response to Question 3 a. Changes made between the first two books and the DOE-1982 booklet included: (1) Improved description of radioactivity and radiation from atomic bombs and from natural sources. (2) Improved description of transport of radioactive materials from soils to the food chain and to man. (3) A more detai led approach to describing how radiation causes changes in cells which lead to biological effects. 2
