The MIG has nc comparable managementor technical staff. The MIG has no whole-body counting and bioassay facilities. It will not be feasible to transfer responsibility for radiological screening or dose assessment in FY 1985. A transfer would have to be between BNL and a comparable organization since it is a mutual interaction. Selected representatives of the MIG could be trained to do most of the work but not by the end of FY 1985. If training began in FY 1984, some elements of the program could be performed by MIG in FY 1985 if adequate consultation and equipment were also provided. The MIG has only recently begun to tackle issues regarding community sanitation, unemployment, budget deficits, crime, etc. Although transfer is feasible, in light of other pressing problems, it is unlikely managment and technical performance of the radiological safety progam would be sustained by the MIG without first providing them with an intensive training program. Question 6 Are there any program components that probably do not or would not directly benefit the affected peoples but are in your judgment necessary for our government or some other entity to carry forth for the possible long term benefit to science/mankind? Please discuss, and especially indicate what learned institution or society snight agree. Our investigations at Rongelap and Utirik are aimed at recording significant quantitative relationships between doses and observed incidence of malignancy and this is of direct benefit to their health and safety. any specific The radiation protection program for the people of Enewetak, Bikini, Rongelap and Utirik is designed
