These projects :nclude activities related to the medical surveillance of Marshall Islands inhabitants and Spanish inhabitants who may have been exposed to radiation from weapons testing or accidents involving nuclear weapons; and activities concerning dose reassessment and radiological surveys of the Marshall Islands, Nevada test site fallout in the Southwest, and related projects. Attachment A to this memorandum identifies the specific projects which should transfer from ER to ASEP. Attachment B identifies projects currently located in ASEP which, in conjunction with those projects listed in Attachment A, comprise a unified program.
