Northern Marshalls survey:
a.

The survey is late.
Answers are going to be required
before work is finished.
Our understanding of how to communicate with the
Marshallese is poor.
A lot of questions will be
raised by the survey.
credibility as advisor to DOI and DOD:
The return of people to live in Bikini Atoll has been
aborted.
AEC said they could return.
Questions are being asked if Enewetak will be another
Bikini.
Utirik people have shown thyroid problems similar to
Rongelap after being told their doses were much lower
and no such effects were expected.
DOE efforts to study and understand radiological conditions in the Marshalls is being seen by some as
performing experiments using the people as research
subjects.
