six weeks during January and February 1977 educating the Rongelap people on
matters pertaining to the effects of radiation on man.
During April and May of 1977, BNLSEP's Greenhouse, Miltenberger and
Levine went to Utirik, Rongelap and Bixini to do site planning for wind-
powered electrical generators and air sampling stations.
Together with a con-
ventionally powered comparison air sampling station, which they iastalled at
Xwajalein Island, Kwajalein Atoll,
these stations initiated the long-term sam-
pling program for air activity concentrations of plutonium.
