-157- Federal Guidelines. The predicted dose for Eneu Island living patterns is marginally in line with Federal Guidelines. The terrestrial foodchains pose the greatest potential contribution to the population dose. A Marshall Island data bank was initiated. This data bank wil! include data generated in our field programs and data published by others. We also have supplied DOE with two reports on Enewetak Atol! (see publication Nos. 2 and 3). The assessment of the potential doses due to the transuranics at Enewetak atoll indicate that predicted lung and bone dose rates at Enewetak Atoll may exceed the new EPA guidance. 17. EXPECTED RESULTS FOR FY 1979: Our goals for FY 1979 are fivefold. @ We will: Continue to update assessments of potential doses for alternate living patterns at Bikini Atoll as new data become available from the test plots established on Eneu Island, @ Reevaluate all of the living patterns and potential Jongterm use of the atolls as more time-dependent data become available. =) Develop the assessment of the radiological significance of copra produced on Bikini and entered into the world market. @ Expand the Marshall Island data bank so we can respond rapidly to needed assessments of Bikini Atoll, @ Assess proposed changes in living patterns as suggested by DOE, Department of Interior (DO!), the Trust Territory, the Bikini and Enewetak people, and ourselves. Many of the needed assessments will be identified as the resettlement proceeds and questions arise. 18, EXPECTED RESULTS IN FY 1980: Additional assessments considered necessary by DOE, DOI, the Trust Territory, the Bikini people, and ourselves will be conducted. These will include evaluations of alternate living patterns, annual dose and body burden estimates, alternate diets, and remedial actions directed toward reducing either uptake or radionuclide inventories at Bikini. Evaluation at Bikini Atoll of islands other than Bikini and Eneu also may be necessary. Delineation of the possible long-term use of the atoll will be of particular importance.
