Definitive measurements of external exposure tates were made at Utirik and Rongelap, and the incremental exposure rates =rom 3ravo fallout were determined for the village islands and several others at-tnese atolls. Analvses of environmental samples ccllected from past surveys are nearly completec, and reports of the results are in progress. 17. ‘ExMaected Rasults in FY 13978: Installations of air sampling stations will be completed at Kwajalein, ini, Renzelas,and Vtirik; and initial results of air monitoring and intentec urine Dicassay programs are expected, GrouDd survey support will be provided for a planned interagency sponsored aerial radioicgical survey of all previously unsurveved atolls in the northern Marshall ancs which may have received local fallout from U.S. atmospheric muclear ~5e te Line tted tlle Centinuation ef srograms described for FY 1977 and 1978. 19, Deseriostion anc Exsilanacion of Major Materials, EZcutoment and Subcontract 1 Ecuioment,FV 1978: Peripheral electronics ($10,000) for the Safety and Environmental Procec- tion Division analytical laboratory is needed to process the increasing load o= environmental samples collected on field surveys. Maior Subcontract Tfems, FY 1978: A supplemental budget request was made for FY 1977 to initiate the air monitoring and expanded urine bioassay program for plutonium, [It will be necessay to extend the contracted peak load analyses of these samples inco FY 1978 because of the lengthy sec up and processing times for amounts of radioactivity which are below convencional limits of detection. Anticipated cost is $10,000. Capital Equipment,FY 1979: Peripheral electronics equipment ($5,000) is needed to provide depth in the Safety and Environmental Protection Division analytical laboratory to handle peak lcads of envirommental samples which must otherwise be subcontracted cel to a commercial laberatory.
