IV. RADIATION SAFETY A. GENERAL. The level of radioactivity at Enewetak Atoll, as reported in the AEC Radiological Survey, is sufficiently low that persons may visit almost every location there withoutMeeor being exposed to radiation in excess of established radiation protection guides. Cleanup is needed, however, because these guides would be exceeded if persons were to dwell throughout the Atoll. Cleanup itself needs radiation safety precautions because possibilities exist that previously undetected contamination will be uncovered, stockpiling of contaminated debris will enhance local radiation intensity, and cleanup activities will make plutonium more readily available for assimilation before it is contained. The safety precautions will result from a cleanup radiation safety policy which complies with the established guides, as well as makes every reasonable effort to maintain radiation exposure as low as is reasonable achievable taking into account the state of technology and the economics of improvements in relation to benefits to health and safety, and other societal and socioeconomic considerations. B. LI bey , | APPLICABILITY. 1. Cleanup is a responsibility assigned to the Department of Defense and delegated to the Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA). Army engineer personnel will be assigned to perform the physical and radiological cleanup for, Group. * under the overall management of, a DNA Joint Task Althunsh support will also come from other military services, federal agencies, and contractors, the Cleanup will be primarily an “Army Job." Accordingly, radiation safety will comply with Army Regulations insofar as is practical.
