Abstract: In August, 1968, President Johnson announced that the people of
Bikini Atoll would be able to return to their homeland. Thereafter,
Similar approval was given for the return of the peoples of Enewetak.
These two regions, which comprised the Pacific Nuclear Testing Areas
from 1946 to 1958, will probably be repopulated by the original
inhabitants and their families within the next year. As part of its
continuing responsibility to insure the pulbic health and safety in
connection with the nuclear program under its sponsorship, ERDA
(formerly AEC)
has contracted Brookhaven National Laboratory to
establish radiological safety and environmental monitoring programs for
the returning Bikini and Enewetak peoples. These programs are designed
to define the external radiation environment, assess radiation doses
from internal emitters in the human food chain, make long range
predictions of total doses and dose commitments to individuals an to
each population group, and to suggest actions which will minimize doses
via the more significant pathways.
