Plutonium soil cleanup should be handled
on a case-by-case basis considering all
radiological conditions. Cleanup of
contaminated soil should be implemented
by a team of experts in the field using the
following general guidance applicable to
this specific operation.
Below 40 pCi/gm
- no action
‘Over 400 pCi/gm
- cleanup
40-400 pCi/gm
(3)
- appropriate action
Decontamination of YVONNE is seen as an
iterative process that amounts to a search
for the higher plutonium levels in soil with
removal and storage according to the
guidance provided. If a method of plutonium
disposal is not available during the cleanup
phase, the quarantine of the island should
be continued.
Villages should be located on southern islands
ALVIN through KEITH.
(5)
Visits may be made to allislands except
YVONNE.
(6)
Commercial and subsistence food production
(7)
should be limited to southern islands, except
for coconuts.
Fishing is permitted anywhere.
Radiation levels on JANET prohibit re-
settlement now. Resettlement may occur
when test plantings of subsistence and
commercial crops show radioactivity levels
within FRC standards.

There should be base-line surveys of body
burdens of selected radionuclides for the
Enewetak people prior to return and periodic
resurvey of the people and environmentafter
return.
