Abstract: The present Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) Marshall Islands
Radiological Safety Program (MIRSP) began in 1987 with funding from the
US Department of Energy
(DOE). The objectives of the MIRSP are to
determine the radionuclides present in the bodies of those people
potentially exposed to residual radionuclide from weapon tests and
fallout, and to assess their present and lifetime dose from external
and internal sources. Field bioassay missions involving whole body
counting
(WBC)
and urine
sample collection have,
therefore,
been
important components of the program. WBC is used to measure
{gamma}-emitters, such as {sup 40}K, {sup 60}Co and {sup 137}Cs,
present in individuals. Urine samples are used to measure {alpha} and
that are
