Il, Scope: ‘To be eritten by principal investigator -approsimately 400 words) The laboratory has collected marine, terrestrial,
and soil samples for radiological analyses at the former Pacific Test Site since 1946 and some of these
samples have been prepared and stored for later use. 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.

DOES I

In FY 1976, the analyses of all of the samples collected in 1976 and 1977 for DOES that have not been

previously analyzed will be completed. 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.

DATE:

The latter, essentially, will be an updating of NVO-269-32.
