Conference ·
OSTI ID:5080187

The goal of the HEDR project is to estimate as accurately as possible the total radiation exposure of people in the vicinity of the Hanford Nuclear Reserve during the periods 1944--1947 and 1964--1966. The present report is restricted to the subsidiary goal of estimating weekly per-capita consumption levels by season for adult male Native Americans within a ten-county target area. These estimates are to be reported in terms of general categories of traditional and non-traditional foods and for three contrasting tribal'' groups, the River Yakima,'' the Nez Perce, and the Colville. 13 refs.
