an environment of continual intake and excretion rather than the results of body elimination
of previously deposited Sr®.
B. Medical Surveillance
When the Rongelapese were returned to their
homeisland, it was planned to inaugurate a program of continuing medical inspections. The
Rongelapese would be examined once a month
by a Marshallese practitioner and complete medical examination performed once a year by an
American physician. Arrangements would be
made for urine collections and analyses every
three months for the first year and afterward
on a yearly basis unless the findings indicate
the necessity for more frequent analyses. A
radio would be provided on Rongelap for communication with the Trust Territories Office on
Ebeye (Kwajalein Atoll) where a plane would
be available at all times for any emergency.
A fully equipped dispensary would be provided
on Rongelap and an experienced health aide
(a Marshallese) would be present at all times.
Before their return, the Marshallese would be
given a complete medical examination, and
immunized against smallpox, typhoid and
tetanus.
C. Environmental Contamination
The degree of contamination on the home
islands of the Rongelapese was considered
