The question arises: What role will MPML play once the clean-up is completed and the Enewetak people have returned to justify its continued support by the Federal government through the auspices of the Department of Energy? The continuing existence of MPML will provide a. facility for surveillance and monitoring of the biota, including man, and the physical environment of the most intensively studied atoll in the world. data exist for Enewetak than for Bikini. More scientific base-line Eventually there will be a larger hu.an population on Enewetak than on the other atolls affected in one way or -nother by the nuclear testing program. Furthermore, this population has not had previous exposure to radiation so that any subsequent effects which may appear must be traceable to the Enewetak environment. It is anticipated that the airstrip will be maintained which will make Enewetak accessible by air fiom Kwajalein and Majuro. Thus, the MPML will provide a window, so to speak, through which the situation in the Marshall Islands can be followed especially well. Another role the MPML will play is in the area of service to the people of the Marshall Islands. education. Service will be in a number of forms. First is It is hoped to continue a program of teacher education which was st: cted before the clean-up but is now in abeyance.
