Pursose.
The primary purpose of this program {s to measure and evaluate che internal
and external doses to people living on those islands in che Marshalls group which
were impacted by Cropospheric fallouc from United States atmospheric nuclear tests
in the Pacific.
Its objectives are:
a.
Direct or indirect neasuremenc of radionuclide body burdens and resultant
toses and dose commitments.
b.
Measurement of external radiation environments and their contributions to
the total doses to individuals and island populactons.
ce. Evaluacion of dietary habirs and living pacrterns insofar as they relate
co the elucidation of exposure pathways and the determination of doses,
aid.

This program was initiaced in 1974 at the requese of the AEC (DOS) in anti-
<ipation of potential radiation exposures cto che returning Bikini population.
Ue.
Approach.
internal and external doses will be measured and evaluted using accepted and
up=Co-date health physics practices.
