In August, 1968, President Johnson announced that the people of Bikini
Atoll would be able to return to their homeland. Thereafter, similar
approval was given for the return of the peoples of Enewetak. These two
regions, which comprised the Pacific Nuclear Testing Areas from 1946 to
1958, will probably be repopulated by the original inhabitants and their
families within the next year. As part of its continuing responsibility to
insure the public health and safety in connection with the nuclear programs
under its sponsorship, ERDA (formerly AEC) has contracted Brookhaven
National Laboratory to establish radiological safety and environmental
monitoring programs for the returning Bikini and Enewetak peoples. These
programs are described in the following paper. They are designed to define
the external radiation environment, assess radiation doses from internal
emitters in the human food chain, make long range predictions of total
doses and dose commitments to individuals and to each population group,
to suggest actions which will minimize doses via the more significant
and
pathways. (auth)
