@ @ Wa A members of the Task Group, but in a field involving so manv specialties and where equally expert opinions differ markedly, i+ is imperative that the Task Group for follow-up studies be enlarged to include scientists known to take the most conservative approach to radiation protection, such as Drs. E. A. Martell at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, Archur R. Tamplin at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, and Donald P. GeeSaman zt the University of Minnesota. Their presence in the Task Group, or their participation in some other direct way in designing methods to be used for the gathering of information and its evaluation is strongly recommended. s The 1972 radiological survey (NVO-140) must be regarded as an impressive beginning of long-range radiological assessment and monitoring of the Enewetak environment with appropriate emphasis placed upon not only the marine and terrestrial environments but upon the radionuclide pathways to man. As we shall discuss more fully below, more information is needed about the presence of hot perticles. The long range effects of Strontivm-90 and Cesium-137 and other nuclides in the food web cannot be known without experimental planting. ~(DEIS Vol. II, Tab B, p. examples. 29.) These are only And as time goes on, scientific knowledge of the nature and effect cf radioactivity is bound to improve and new techniques for remedial measures will be found. These scientific advancements will be lost to the Enewetak people unless the United States government assumes a long-range commitment of the kind we suggest here. Anc in so doing it is highly probable that important contri- butions to the development of greater understanding of radioactivity
