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. oud. jgackzround. This program was initiated in 1974 at the requese of the AEC (DOS) in antisipacion of potential a 4 wu. radiation exposures cto the returning Bikini population. Approach. Internal and external doses will be measured and evaluted using accepted and uogtcordate health physics practices.
