the advent of the UUI Four ATOI! Healtn Lare rrogram, run py vorm Short and Associates who will provide upgraded primary health care to the exposed and other people, we plan now only one part time Marshallese person at Ebeye to be a medical liaison between John Short and BNL, particularly to ensure medications are available and taken, for medical referrals outside the Marshalls, and to keep records current. Environmental (LLNL) - Livermore's main mission has been to sampte the environment throughout the northern Marshalls and formulate dose assessments based on expected diets and lifestyles of the people-living there or who might be relocated back. In 1985 DOI (BARC) and DOE (LLNL) joined forces to accelerate the experiments designed by either reducing the inventory of radionuclides or blocking them from entering the food chain, ultimately to reduce dose thus to provide more options for the resettlement of Bikini Atoll. The results will obviously affect other areas, notably Enjebi and several other agriculture islands in the northern part of Enewetak. Bioassay (BNL) - Through 1986 we have monitored the Rongelap, selected Bikinians, and the resettled Enewetak populations to ensure that they were within the Federal Radiation Guidelines. Now we are winding up a sophisticated plutonium analysis and really contemplate further WBC missions only in conjunction with possible resettlement of Bikini. To maintain the five employees at BNL, to provide Pu analysis and one mission a year costs about $500K. This appears to be a service that RMI might request and fund down the line. -2-
