The NTPR program is making extensive efforts not only to recover all film badge data, and to cross-check badge readings among members of units which maneuvered in close proximity to each other, but also to reconstruct exposures from original Gata in order to verify film badge readings and to provide dose estimates for those individuals whose film badge readings Initial reconstruction efforts have cannot be recovered. For example, Tab D contains an analysis been quite promising. of Task Force WARRIOR, SMOKY. data the primary maneuver element at Shot The close correlation between actual film badge (575 millirem average) + 135 millirem) and the calculated dosage (480 gives confidence in film badge accuracy. (Pages 5-8 of Tab D summarize the findings.) The NTPR program is also intensively investigating other potential types of radiological exposure. Since film badges measure only external gamma radiation (and some beta radiation), the possibility of exposure to prompt neutrons at the instant of detonation and the possibility of long-term dose commitment due to inhalation or ingestion of alpha-radiation-emitting radioisotopes has been a subject of much concern. Dosage reconstruction efforts to date indicate that if any significant neutron exposure occurred, it was confined to several small, well-defined groups which are being investigated in great detail (Tab E). Additionally, all research to date indicates that internally deposited radionuclides were not a problem for DoD test participants. However, since complete resolution of this issue is vital, this research is being aggressively continued (Tab F). In addition to DoD's general public awareness program aimed at all atmospheric nuclear test participants, the NTPR program has undertaken a specific, individual notification and medical examination program for all individuals who received doses in excess of the annual levels allowed by today's Federal guidelines. This program has been carried out in three segments, below: In March 1979, as described in the three paragraphs a notification and medical examination program was initiated for all DoD test participants with cumulative exposures from atmospheric testing in excess of 25 rem. The threshold of 25 rem was selected for this pilot program because it is the current Federal guideline for one-time, q planned exposures under emergency conditions. We have identified a total of 39 DoD personnel in the over-25-rem group, with exposures ranging from just over 25 rem to a high of 98 rem (Tab G). Most of these were exposed through an unexpected wind shift at Shot BRAVO, Bikini, 1954. Four of the 39
