SCOPE:
This project will evaluate the radiological problems associated
with the resettlement of Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands including:
alternate living patterns involving Bikini
Island,
@
alternate islands,e.g., Eneu Island and Nam {sland in the
northern section of Bikini Atoll, for primary residence,
radiological implications of copra produced at Bikini Atol]
2
@
on the world market,
@
economic impacts to the Bikini people and the Marshal}
Islands if such crops are restrained from the world market,
long-term use of Bikini as more time-dependent data become
available.
We will maintain the data files and information both from Bikini and
Enewetak so that we can respond rapidly to DOE needs for Marshal]
Island assessments.

RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROGRAMS:
This assessment program is closely related to the follow-up
research programs at the Bikini and Enewetak Atolls (189 Nos. LLL/ASEV-
80-5 and -22), to the continuing assessment of Enewetak Atoll, and to
Results from this program will
integrated closely with any future atoll surveys.

TECHNICAL PROGRESS IN FY 1978:
Atoll
The initial dose assessment of Bikini and Eneu Islands at Bikini
(see publication No. 1) was completed. The predicted doses for
living patterns involving Bikini
Island are more than double the
_
past surveys at both atolls.
