A 1ist of samples by date and area of collection and by sample type that are now on hand is given in the five tables that are attached. Reports of the results of analyses af most of the samples have been reported but ali of the methods and techniques of analyses that are | } now available were not available when the samples were originally analyzed. For gxample, prior to 1954 the only analysis performed was for gross beta and gamma radiation; the analyses for 29Sr hegan in 1954 and, by qainma spectrometry, in 1956; and, for plutonium, the first analysis was_in 1794 It iS now proposed that selected archive samples be analyzed for I0sp, Cs, and Pu for the baseline program for FY's 79 and 8&0. As a result of this program, the 3l-year history of these radionuclides at Bikini and Enewetak, their 24-year history at Rongelap, and their 20-year history at these three areas, as well as other areas, after conclusion of the test program could be established. It is unlikely that similar information can bg obtained for any other area of the world. The number of analyses will be approximatey 200 for Pu, 200 for Ose, 200 by gamina spectroscopy (137c¢s5 and other radionuclides if present) and 20 (of the inore recent fish samples) for 2’Fe per year. | In FY 1978, the analyses of all of the samples collected in 1976 and 1977 for DOES ‘that have not been previously analyzed will be completed. The results of analyses will be included in two reports - one, on the 1975 radiological survey in Micronesia and the other on 1976 and 1977 radiological surveys in the Marshal] Islands. The latter, essentially, will be an updating of NVO-269-32.
