LLL/EV-§ 2-22 —300- Fiscal Year 1981 Assessments of all atolls surveyed in the Multi-Atoll Survey will be completed during this year. Uterik Atoll will be addressed on a priority basis with the assessment being published as soon as possible. Enewetak Atoll will also be considered on a separate basis because of the unique nature of the atoll. Further assessments will be conducted to evaluate alternate living patterns at the atoll and the potential use of crops for commercial purposes. It is anticipated that assessments of the other atolls will probably be reported in a single document. Although they cannot be precisely identified at the present time, requests from DOE and other agencies for additional radiological assessments of the Marshall Islands are anticipated. The necessary data bases and expertise will be maintained to facilitate response. Fiscal Year 1982 Continuing assessments will probably be required at both Bikini and Enewetak Atolls. The need for additional assessments of other atolls or other Marshall Islands situations will undoubtedly occur in the future. Although these needs cannot yet be precisely identified, we will maintain the necessary data bases and expertise to respond and develop assessments. g. Future Accomplishments The radiological dose assessments developed in this activity will provide a basis for decisions on resettlement options at Bikini, Enewetak, Rongelap, and other atolls in the northern Marshali Islands. h. Relationships to Other Projects This project is very closely related to, and in fact depends on, other projects such as "The Northen Marshall Islands Multi-Atoll Survey," (5120.2 No. LLL/EV-82-13, "Marshall Islands Radioecology Studies for Dose Assessment," (5120.2 No. LLL/EV-82-22), "Blogeochemical Cycling of the Transuranics and Other Radionuclides in the Marshall Islands," (5120.2 No. LLL/EV-82-35), and the ongoing DOE support of the Enewetak Radiological Clean-up Program. i.
