The expansion of the program to include general medical care has
\
not yet been estimated.
Given the above, and assumingthat’ one atoll would be added to
,
the program per year, and that there would be”at least one trip per year
(more likely two) to each atoll, future cost estimates for the

Whole body counting currently is conducted with the people of Rongelap,
Utirik, and more recently, Bikini.
Initial counts also are being made on the
people of Enewetak prior to their return to the Atoll.
Research and environmental monitoring (except for the 13-atoll
survey) are conducted primarily at Bikini and Enewetak Atolls, and the dose
assessment studies have been directed primarily toward the resettlement
issue of the Bikini and Enewetak peoples.
Should radiological surveys, research programs and dose assessments
need to be continued indefinitely at Bikini and Enewetak, and expanded
to Rongelap, Utirik and other atolls, a very rough estimate of at least
- $250K per atoll per year might be required:
