from soil to reduce the bulk of material requiring disposal. AEC should be prepared to take the lead in any such studies that are made. Alternatives: (1) Apply radiation criteria with the objective of maintaining exposure and radioactivity. levels in the natural background range and equivalent to pre-test conditions. (Such criteria are equivalent to prohibiting occupancy of the Atoll. ) (2) Apply maximum levels allowable for individuals within the general population as contained in current Federal standards such as 500 mRem/yr, and 5 Rem in 30 years whole body doses and inhalation and dietary intake of radionuclides equivalent to those doses. (3) A middle course based on maintaining exposures "as low as practicable, '' and limited to a conservative fraction of the Federal standards for individuals within the general population in order to account for uncertainties in dose estimates. Discussion: Weapons tests were conducted at Enewetak Atoll from 1948 to 1958. The remaining contamination from 43 explosions includes fallout, fission dekris, neutron activation products, plutonium debris from safety tests and buried waste. Test loca- tions are shown in the attached map with names of tests enclosed in boxes. In April 1972, the U.S. announced that Enewetak Atoll would be placed under Trust Territory control at the end of 1973. Resettlement of the Enewetakese people would depend upon the results of a survey of the Atoll using the same pattern followed at Bikini, i.e., radiological survey, cleanup, rehabilitation and resettlement. The responsibilities were divided among Federal DOE ARCHIVES
