Radiological Safety in the Marshal] Islands
The Dept. of Energy requested the National Research Council (NRC)
to establish a committee to assist the Department in its evaluatipns of the
radiological safety of the Marshall Islands, particularly Rongelab Atoll.
Some of these islands were contaminated with radioactive materia lf during
nuclear weaspons tests conducted from 1946 to 1958. Because questions
concerning the safe habitation of these islands by the native peqple have not
been settled, the Dept. seeks a source of advice concerning several safety
issues relating to the potential consequences of living and farm ng on these
islands.
