The Division's Marshall Islands Programs use s ate-of-the-art computers and radiation detection devices at the Laboratory and in the field. Multi-disciplinary scientists and technicians are employed to insure the success of remote and laboratory operations. At the Laboratory three radiochemistry laboratories, an anthropomorphic calibration facility, internal dose expertise and an ultra low-level alpha and gamma spectroscopy facility are maintained. Two portable whole-body counting systems with backup repair kits are maintained for field use. The Pu analysis program requires the use of the High Flux Beam Reactor and ultra-pure chemicals. A large computer data base is used to store records and clerical, graphic arts and publishing facilities are required often. The U.S. National Laboratories possess most of these elements. Foreign government laboratories such as the Institute of Atomic Energy, People's Republic of China possess similar elements which are used as a national resource like those in the U.S.. The following private organizations are capable of performing several elements of the program: |. Whole Body Counting: Nuclear Data Incorporated, Schaumberg, Illinois Radiation Management Corporation, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Helgeson, Plainville, California 2. Urine Bioassay (except Pu), a few of the many organizations are: Radiation Management Corporat'on, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Eberline, Santa Fe, New Mexicc
