NDIX IZ APPENDIX II comply with restrictious, theiz exposures to transuraniua elements will meec the proposed EPA criteria. The published EPA sroposal menticas Enewetak cleanup but does net make any recommendaticns specifics to this projecc. Item e- The statement that the Task Group's radiological cleancp guidelises considered only Pu-239, 240 is incorvecc.. The pudlisized sciencizics report*® chat provided che key informacion relacing corccentration of long-lived alpha radioactivity in soil to dose to xan contains the assumpcion that there will be a distribucion or mixture ef such alpha emmitcers in the soil conraining all those transuran- ium elements that would be expected from a nuclear weapon detonation. The AEC report used the term plutonium or plutonium-239, 240 when it should have used che term transuranium elements. was clarified with DNA before soil removal began. Itex £ - This poia A much greater intake of coconut (abeuz 10 times greater than used earlier) has appeared in a report prepared by TNA staff. Comments from DOE to JNA have raised serious questions about the v2, cdityvy of such an assumption. We are not aware of she stacus >: the resort and whether ic is to be pubdiished. wteo g - The 40 and 400 pCi/g criteria recommended for use in decisiocs on cleanup of contaminated soil at Enewetak have noc been changed or made more stringene since the Task Group repors was issued in 1974. In the EIS, soil Levels below 40 pCi/ga vere judged sot to require cleanup. This is seill our recommendation. it was tacommended {n the EIS that soils having greacer shan 4Q0 pCi/gm snould be cleaned up wherever these Levels wer2 fsund. This is also still our recommendation. The value of -~CO pCi/g is to be used by JNA in the cleanup of the Aomon crype. Islands having soz: . concentrations in between these vaiues (from 40 235 400 pCi/gm) were to be treated on a case-by~case basis. DNA requested anc receive: additional advice on how to make these case-by-case decis-ons. They have not requested any further advice regarding soil cleanup criteria.
