Purpose.
The primary purpose of this program is to measure and evaluate the internal
and external doses to people living on those islands in the Marshalls group which
were impacted by tropospheric fallout from United States atmospheric nuclear tests
in the Pacific.
Its objectives
are:
a.
Direct or indirect measurement of radionuclide body burdens and resultant
doses and dose commitments.
b.
Measurement of external
radiation environments and
the total doses to individuals and island populations.
their contributions
to
c.
Evaluation of dietary habits and living patterns insofar as they relate
to the elucidation of exposure pathways and the determination of doses.
20d.
Background.
This program was initiated in 1974 at the request of the AEC (DOS) in anticipation of potential radiation exposures'to the returning Bikini population,
2Q0e,
Approach.
Internal and external doses will be imeasured and evaluted using accepted and
up-to-date health physics practices.
