WORKPLAN In a meeting on March 4, 1981, Bikini Senator Henchi Bales identified the following areas of concern: (1) Did the Department of Energy collect a sufficient sample of materials from Bikini Atoll to assess accurately the expected dose to the population after resettlement? (2) Would the expected dosage pose a serious health risk to children, adults or their progeny? (3) Would it be possible to clean up Bikini Atoll so that it would be safe for resettlement? The dose assessment and related health risks depend heavily on assumptions about the geographic and demographic distribution of the resettled population and of its diet and social customs. We propose the following workplan, administrative purposes. separated The entire workplan into two phases for is described; ‘ however, only the budget to be funded directly by the Department of Energy has been included in this proposal.
