NTIS $3.50. Document Type: Conference paper Subfile: NSA (Nuclear Science Abstracts); ERA (Energy Research Work Location: United States In August, 1968, President Johnson announced that the people of Bikini Atoll would be able to return to their homeland. Thereafter, similar approval was given for the return of the peoples of Enewetak. These two regions, which comprised the Pacific Nuclear Testing Areas from 1946 to 1958, will probably be repopulated by the original inhabitants and their families within the next year. As part of its continuing responsibility to insure the public health and safety in connection with the nuclear programs under its sponsorship, ERDA (formerly AEC) has contracted Brookhaven National Laboratory to establish radiological safety and environmental monitoring programs for the returning Bikini and Enewetak peoples. These programs are described in the following paper. They are designed to define the external radiation environment, assess radiation doses from internal emitters in the human food chain, make long range predictions of total doses and dose commitments to individuals and to each population group, and to suggest actions which will minimize doses via the more significant HAZARDS ; DOSE COMMITMENTS; ENVIRONMENT; EXTEFJUIL IRRADIATION; INTERNAL IRRADIATION; IUN31ATION DOSES; RADIATION MONITORING; RADIATION PROTECTION; Transport --Ecosystems & Food Cycles External dose estimates for future inhabitants of Eniwetok Atoll Univ. of California, Livermore “u Publication Date: 25 Sep 1975 Country of Publication: United Kingdom Document Type: Journal Article Work Location: United States RADIATION DOSES; EXTERNAL IRRADIATION; GAMMA WLDIATION Transport --Ecosystems & Food Cycles

Comparison of gamma-ray exposure rate measurements at Bikini Atoll California Univ., Livermore (USA)- Lawrence Livermore ‘ah” Corp.

NTIS $4.50. Document Type: Conference paper Subfile: NSA (Nuclear Science Abstracts); ERA (Energy Research Work Location: United States A radiological survey of Bikini and Eneu Islands of the Bikini Atoll was conducted during June 1975 to assess the potential radiation doses that may be received by the returning Bikinians. Bikini Atoll was one of the U.S. nuclear weapons testing sites in the Pacific. - integral part of the survey included measurements of the gamma-ray exposure rates at 1 m above the ground with portable NaI instruments at nearly 2700 locations on the two islands. For comparison purposes, similar measurements were made with a pressurized ion chamber at approximately 200 locations, and with LiF and results indicate that the NaI scintillators overresponded because of their nonlinear energy characteristics. The responses of the LiF dosimeters and the pressurized ion chamber agreed to within 13 percent. Attenuation studies with LiF TLDs indicated that roughly 25 percent of the total free air exposure rate at 1 m was due to beta radiation.

dose commitment of the returning population according to several pathways of exposure. Plutonium was detected in air and in the terrestrial and aquatic environment at concentrations that varied from background levels due to world-wide fallout to levels several orders-of-magnitude above. The dose commitments from plutonium via the terrestrial food chain and inhalation vary according to the postulated living pattern. The dpsages via marine foods can be expected to be insensitive to living pattern and to exceed those via terrestrial foods. Plutonium would contribute nearly all of the dosage via inhalation, but this pathway ranks low in overall Although the potential dose from plutonium via all pathways is low relative remain in the Atoll environment after the other major isotopes have decayed CHAINS ; INHALATION; FJU31ATION DOSES; SURFACE AIR Radioactivity Monitoring & Transport-- Ecosystems & Food Cycles; N4431O Environmental & Earth Sciences --Radioactivity Monitoring & Transport Radioactive Materials Monitoring & Transport --Terrestrial Ecosystems & Food Plutonium in aqueous systems Univ. of Washington, Seattle Health Phys., v. 29, no. 4, pp. 589-597 Publication Date: Ott 1975 Conference title: Proceedings of the second Los Alamos life sciences Conference location: Los Alamos, NM, USA Conference date: 22 May 1974 Country of Publication: United Kingdom Document Type: Conference paper Subfile: NSA (Nuclear Science Abstracts); ERA (Energy Research Work Location: United States A review has been made of the available information concerning plutonium in the aquatic environment. The levels are low and the data on the environmental concentrations in the lake and marine environment -e very limited. Of particular relevance to biological accumulation processes is the physical-chemical state of plutonium. Limited information is available in natural environmental waters. Indications are that the plankton has the highest concentration factors and that the concentration factors decrease with increasing complexity of the organisms. Recent studies of plutonium in water, sediment, and biota at Bikini and Eniwetok Atolls are given. The water samples measured indicate that plutonium exists in the particulate, soluble, and colloidal physical-chemical states. The plutonium is being injected into the water column from the sediments and has not been removed from the biogeochemical cycle after 16 yr. Concentrations of plutonium in vertebrates and invertebrates measured at Eniwetok were low and ranged from 0.001 to 0.2 pCi/g wet in fish muscle. Additional data are required to better evaluate the potential hazards to man of plutonium in the aquatic PARTICLES; PLANKTON; SEDIMENTS; SURFACE WATERS

Document Type: Report Subfile: NSA (Nuclear Science Abstracts); En (Energy Research Work Location: United States A summary is presented of results of medical examinations of inhabitants of the Marshall Islands during the 20-year period following the exposure of Rongelap people to radioactive fallout in 1954. The initial effect observed was $beta$ burns of the skin of some individuals. Few significant findings were observed during the subsequent 9-year period, although an increase in miscarriages and stillbirths among the exposed women was noted.

In conjunction with these contributions, measurements using the fission-track method have been made of the uranium distribution and concentrations in several carbonate samples from drill cores obtained from the Runit Island Enewetak Atoll. Petrographic studies on these drill core samples have been made to correlate the uranium data with the mineralogical data.
