Tachnical collaboration will continue on matters of mutual interest. The radiclogical safety program will also bear directly on a retrospective reassessmenc of chyroid and whole body doses to the BRAVO fallout victims at Rongelap and Utirik, a new program for which funding is expected in FY 1978, The program will also interact cooperatively with related eftortcs at the University of washington (LRE) and at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, (See Continuacion Sheer) wee el eee - a ee - - - Ex-/!7
