Employ these new data and constants as input to the assessment
program for refining the projected doses for Enewetak, Bikini and
other atolls in the nothern Marshall Islands;

Define the need and develop guidelines for any long-term
radio-ecological surveillance on Enewetak, Bikini, Rongelap and
Utirik atolls.
Produce an ecological systems model for the long-lived radionuclides
in these coral island environments including radionuclide transport,

recycling, and fate;
Evaluate the resuspension pathway as a potential! source of
transuranics exposure; and
Add to the data base supporting the predictive dose assessment
capability.

Marine-Groundwater Program

The goals of this program are to investigate the rates of movement,
accumulation and turnover of the transuranics and other radionuclides in

various components of the marine and groundwater environments of Enewetak and
Bikini Atolls and open ocean areas in the Marshall Islands.

Samples are

collected for radiochemical analysis from these aquatic environments in order
to:
Determine the concentrations of radionuclides in different tissues

and organs of marine species to develop recommendations for
minimizing the passage of radionuclides to human populations from the
marine food chain;
