( -2- RADIATION PROTECTION STANDARDS RELEVANT 10 ENIWETOK GUIDANCE Within the United States essentially all radiation protection activity is based on issuances of the Federal Radiation Council (FRC) National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) ‘International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Standards adopted and published by these bodies are in regular, day-to-day use; they provide the bases for judgements and recommendations pertaining to radiation protection at Eniwetok Atoll in the years ahead as it relates to cleanup, rehabilitation and reoccupation of the islands by the Eniwetok Atoll People.

RADIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR REOCCUPATION OF ENIWETOK ATOLL 4oKY Fre ee, NCRP and M@RP recommendations must be applied to Eniwetok in manner different from that used for a proposed nuclear facility or at a laboratory where radioisotopes or ionizing radiation generating machines are to be used. At Eniwetok radioactive contamination is distributed in the environment and the owners of the atoll are absent at a radiologically safe location. The problem is finding the procedure, assuming one exists, through which all or part of the atoll can be made safe as the permanent home for the Eniwetok m
