in the preceding section itemized six tasks. Nine tasks eventually emerged, as listed below (11): 1. To compile a roster of the DOD personnel involved in the atmospheric nuclear tests 2. To develop a history of each atmospheric nuclear event that involved DOD personnel 3. To declassify all possible nuclear test related source documents that bore a security classification 4. To provide estimates of atmospheric test radiation doses--both as a check on film badge readings and as a substitute for them in those cases where badges were not worn or readings were not recorded or are not retrievable--and to submit the methodology for the estimates to the NAS for peer review 5. To establish personal contact with as many test participants as possible 6. To identify those individuals who received a higher radiation dose than those doses recommended under current Federal guidelines fors radiation workers, to notify those individuals of their dose, and to offer veterans free medical examinations at Government hospitals 7. To sponsor, in conjunction with the Department of Energy, an independent mortality study by the National Academy of Sciences of test participants selected by the NAS 8. To carry out a detailed research program, in conjunction with the ongoing NTPR program, to recover all data pertaining to possible radiation exposure of U.S. postwar occupation troops at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan 9. To provide assistance to the veteran, the Veterans Administration, and other organizations by doing research and by providing as complete data as possible on individual participation and radiation doses. An NTPR team in each military service and a separate team at the DNA Field Command in Albuquerque, New Mexico, have worked with DNA in meeting these tasks, as is explained in chapter 2. In addition, DNA has employed several contractors to provide specialized supporting services. shows the basic organization of NIPR within DNA.
