A comprehensive radiological safety program will be maintained for the
inhabitants of atolls in the Northern Marsnall Islands contaminated as a result of
the U.S. Pacific Testing programs.
The following items and services will be provided.
a.
Personnel monitoring and environmental sampling to provide data for BNL
dose assessments and determination of’ radiological trends.
b.
Individual and population dosimetry based on actual measurements.
The
resulting data will be used to modify dose commitment predictive models so that
they may more accurately reflect

future

trends.

C.
Continuation of diet and living pattern assessments
parameters in long range predictive dose efforts.

to update relevant

Program activities in the coming fiscal year will emphasize the following:
a.
In vivo counting and urine bioassay of Rongelap and Utirik residents to
determine dose commitments from environnentally-derived radionucldies at these
atolls, and to better understand excretion kinetics among the Marshallese.
do.
Followup personnel monitoring at Enewetak to evaluate any change in
radionuclide body burden associated with »1 year of residence on Enewetak Atoll.
c.
A final determination of radionuclide body burdens among the former re-~
sidents of Bikini Atoll.
d.
Continuation of analyses of transuranic nuclide excretion rates among
worthern tlarshall Islands residents, and of transuranics and fission and activation
products among Marshallese control groups who reside outside of
