The expansion of the program to include general overall medical care has not yet been estimated but the cost could be very high since this would require the creation of new medical facilities and full time assignments of medical personnel in the Marshall Islands. Given the extension of the current medical followup program to additional atolls and people, and assuming that 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 medical followup are: FY80 Fy81 FY82 FY83 FY84 FY85 $1. 465M $5.572M 6872 8472 9772 10,000 Rongelap Utirik add Enewetak Bikini Likiep add Wotje add Ailuk add Mejit Partial Bikini FY86 10, 000 other (The Marshall Island Government has also requested that the atolls/ islands of Lae, Ujae, Kili (Bikinians) and Ujelang (Enewetakese) be included.) BUDGET~ENVIRONMENTAL Whole body counting currently is conducted with the people of Rongelap, Utirik, and more recently, Bikinians who resided on Bikini Island. 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.
