The DOE's positions on Bikini scientific programs are as follows: the medical
rogram will continue for the next several years and will indude monitoring, the
radiological safety program conducted by BNL is important to verify predictions of
exposure to returning Bikinians; and a LLNL environmental program “follow-on"
program is necessary to monitor exposures inrelationship to the predictions.™
A memorandum of understanding between the DOE and the Section 177
Health Plan, authorized in the COFA, insures that health care and services are
provided to the Marshallese exposed to nucleartesting in a unified, coordinated, and
unduplicated manner. The Section 177 Health Plan is the health care program for
the Marshallese authorized under P.L 96-205 of.12 March 1960. No portion of the
understanding can be implemented without the review and conaurrence of the RMI
Secretary, Ministry of Health Services.
