FOR VOYAGE FY 78 Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL) has established a program in conjunction with DOE to investigate measurement of radionuclides in the soil, water and biota radioecological trans~rt mdeling and dose evaluation in the Marshall Islands. These investigations are to fulfill the high priority needs for effective rehabilitation of affected Marshall Atolls. The Bikini Survey of June 1975 was a follow up effort of DOE to the 1969 Bikini Survey which was accomplished prior to the cleanup and resettlement of Bikini Atoll. Efforts to resettle Bikini Atoll are continuing through the Trust Territory and Marshall District Governments. The purpose of this mission is to continue work on establishing the garden on Eneu Island which was started during the August trip. Samples from the garden will be taken to study the rate of radicmuclide uptake in plants and to provide a program to monitor the resettlement of Bikini and ensure.the safety of the Marshallese currently inhabiting the atoll. Also, work will be done during this trip to establish a base camp to be used on future DESCRIPTION OF MISSION General work to following at Bikini: maintain the garden on Eneu Island and plant additional species of plants as required. Establishment of a drip irrigation system for the garden and build a cover for the catchment pool. Obtain water samples from existing wells for radioecological Collection of water and sediment samples from various Obtain marine life samples for radiological analysis. Collect samples from Work towards setting Collect soil samples any crops that have grown. up permanent camp housing.
