ENIWETOK CLEANUP CRITERIA FORMAT
I am providing the attached draft format in response to your
suggestion at the April 18, 1973, meeting with General Camm and

Dr. Biles that we work together on this matter.

As we have discussed,

radiologicalcriteria representing acceptable residual radiation

conditions for rehabitation must be formulated in anticipation of

the return of the Eniwetokese people to their home islands. Although
we are quite aware that these eriteria cannot be expressed numerically
until the resulta of the recent USAEC radiological survey are
available, we visualize the format for the criteria as consisting of
at least three essential parts; namely, assumptions, alternative
actions, and the results of these alternative actions. With a short
introductory statement and a concluding overview of the postcleanup
radiological condition of the entire Eniwetok, we would like to

suggest organization of the format as shown in enclosure (1).

I

hope that we can develop this format at an early date so that
General Camm may diseuss it with General Dunn in the near future.
Please let Commander Wolff or me know when you would like to discuss
this.
