Proiece Title: 16. Sazecy Studies and Development of Operationai Guidelines Marsnall Islands Radiclogical Safety Program Technical Progress in FY 1976 and Transition Peried: RW-03-(a) (Cone'c.) June-July 1975 in wnich BNL parcicipétec, Data trom botn these surveys are currently being used to refine dose and dose commitment preciccions for veturning Bikini residents. BNL cellaborated with the University of Wasnington LRE in a regional racgiological background study ia Micronesia, November-December 1975. Data from this study will be used as a reference base against which radiological data tir che northern Marshall Islands can be compared. The first routine followup study for Bikini and Eneu is scheduled for April 1976, This survey will include detailed radiological profiles of the NameBokata complex of islands which are the nexc areas scheduled for agricultur2l development in the Bikini atoll master plan.

ExDdected xesults in FY 1977; Ground survev support will be provided for a plannec interagency aerial radiological survey of all previously unsurveyed atolis in the northera Marshall Islands wnicn may have received local fallout from the U.S. atnosaheric nuciear tests. cnewetak will be visited ty the oregram princinals in order to establish @ Soucine environmental monitoring program for that actell, Continuec technical support will be provided bv BNL for the ERDA=funded Paciiic Basin raciological program of the University of Washington LRE. 23.

Peripheral electronics ($6,000) for a chin intrinsic germanium detector artay is needed ro process soil samples for heavy elements.
