Purzvose,
The primary purpose of this program is to neasure and evaluate the internal
and external doses to people living on chose {slands in the Marshalls group wnoich
were impacted by tropospheric fallouc from United States atmospheric nuclear tests
sn the Pacific.
Its objectives are:
a.
Direct or indirect measuremenc of radionuclide body burdens and resultanc
Loses and dose commitments.
b.
Measurement of external radiacion environments and
their contributions
to
che tocal doses to individuals and island populacions.
c.
Evaluacton of dietary habits and living patterns insofar as they relate
ro the elucidation of exposure pathways and the determination of doses.

This program was initiated in 1974 at the requese of the AEC (DOS) in antisipacion of potential

Approach.
Internal and external doses will be measured and evaluted using accepted and
uogtcordate health physics practices.
