a list of important food {tems in the Mashallese diet. A report of
survey findings is lasued. PeriodicaJ/ly, a reassessment of radiological
conditions in the atoll is made and
report published. The survey
and reporting efforts operate appyéximately on a one-year cycle. This
followup radiological survey wil
be extended to include Enewetak Atoll
and its residents when cleanup/and rehabilitation actiyities in that
atoll are completed.
Brookhaven National Laboratory, University of Ashington, and the
Lawrence Livermore Laboyatory are ERDA cont ¢tors for this work. The
budget level is about 400 to 250 thousand ollars per year. There is
a high degree of cooperation between s
f of these contractors and
frequent publicatl
of findings in
reports and in the scientific
literature. The program provides
means for assessing the quality of
these environmepts as related t radiological health and safety of the
Bikini and
etak people.
