to prevent any unnecessary radiation exposure and this also directly benefits affected people. Program accomplishments have benefited science/mankind because we developed relationships between thyroid dose and health effects from high levels of fallout, we developed a bioassay program to detect Pu due to exposures which occurred decades ago or due to long-term protracted exposure at very low levels, and we documented the development, implementation and dosimetric results of a radiation protection program following a nuclear weapons accident. These developments are particularly useful because thyroid and residual radiation dose modeling supports the DOE effort to assess fallout exposure in certain parts of the U.S.; the ultra-low level Pu measurement system would support a radiation protection program at U.S. weapons facilities; and the calibration techniques used over the years in the whole-body counting program illustrate changes in body-burden assessment practices, changes important for the protection of radiation workers. Carrying forth with new studies may prove beneficial, however, the basic radiation protection services approach does not give beforehand knowledge of the future benefits. The Marshall Islands situation is unique and further scientific inquiry would be encouraged by the Health Physics Society, United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation, National Academy of Sciences Committee on the Biological] Effects of lonizing Radiations, Radiation Research Society and other organizations which deal with questions on radiological health and safety. Question 7 \ In general terms, under your 5-year plan, what are the estimated costs (in FY 1985 constant dollars) to DOE/Marshall Isiands Government or some other funding entity? Also include a brief'one paragraph summary of program content for every FY.
