— OF - wae ee 3. It is recognized that the people of Enjebi have a strohg desire to return to liva on that fsland. The island contains three ground zero locations from nuclear tests and was within about 3 miles of the | Mike event that had a total yield of about 10 Megatons. According to the survey results presented in NV-140, Enjebi was the most heavily contaminated of the larger islands in the Atoll. — The Task Group has . been unable to determine an feasible, in order to resettle Enjebi at the same time as islands in the south of the Atoll. the island can be resettled. It is reasonable to expect that one day : There appear to be two possible approaches —_———— a. ee Soil removal followed by studies with test plantings to determine whether exposure for Enjebi residents would be within acceptable eriteria. b. mn : Conduct of studies using test plantings to determine when ‘exposures would be within acceptable criteria but no soil removed. in either case, housing construction and planting of subsistence and commercial crops would be deferred until research with test plantings showed acceptably low levels of radioactivity. _ The Task Group recommends the second approach as one .having minimal adverseimpact_ on the island environment. 4. The research program in 3 above should also include a determination of radioactivity levels in coconut and other food crops produced on PEARL, CLARA, ALICE, and BELLE. YVONNE should ‘also be included after removal of plutonium contaminated soil. 5. All radioactive scrap metal and ccntaminated debris identified during BESTAVAILABLECOPY he jAhe Holmes and Narver Engineering Survey should be removed, heen ff
