‘pattern to be inferred by proper utilization of the results obtained for these cases.
Note that the cases also include assumptions on the food production and consumption plans
of the returning population.

This information is only required for the internal dose

assessment via the specific food chains, and hence is not pertinent to the external dose

calculations.
The cases are based upon the assumption that the people will reside on either
Bikini or Eneu Island in accordance with the Preliminary Bikini Atoll Master Pian.4

For

purposes of this report, the cases are primarily directed toward assessing the external
dose associated with various options for housing locations on the two islands.

The first

case is based on the assumption that the people will live only on Eneu Island. The
remaining cases assume residence on Bikini Island at different village sites with various
remedial actions being taken to reduce the exposure rates.

Thus, cases 2-4 assume the

residences are situated along the lagoon road on Bikini Island, areas 1 and 2 in Fig. 4,
while cases 5 and 6 assume the people will live within the interior portions of the island,
