A list of samples by date and area of collection and by sample type that are now on hand is given in the five tables that are attached. Reports of tne results of analyses of most of the samples have been reported but all of the methods and techniques of analyses that are now available were not available when the samples were originally analyzed. For gxample, prior to 1954 the only analysis performed was for gross beta and gamma radiation; the analyses for OSr began in 3954 and, by gamma spectrometry, in 1956; and, for plutonium, the first analysis was in 1969. It is now proposed that selected archive samples be analyzed for 7”Sr, Cs, and Pu for the baseline program for FY's 79 and 80. As a result of this program, the 3}-ycar history of these radionuclides at Bikini and Enewetak, their 24-year history at Rongelap, and their 20-year history at these three areas, as well as other areas, after conclusion of the test program could be established. It is unlikely that similar information can bg obtaincd for any other area of the world. The number of analyses will be approximatey 200 for Pu, 200 for Isr, 200 by gamma spectroscopy ('37Cs and other radionuclides if present) and 20 (of the more recent fish samples) for °%~Fe per year. o- | wae ern memes 6.

The results of analyses will be included in two reports - one, on the 1975 radiological survey in Micronesia and the other on 1976 and 1977 radiological surveys in the Marshall Islands.
