4 he objectives, drawn from ICRP, are
a.
to prevent acute radiation effects, and
b.
to limit the risks of late effects to an acceptable level.
Implementation of the plans for recovery of Eniwetok Atoll will
require for their success:
1.
Periodic assessments of environmental radioactivity
2.
Measurements of humans by dosimeters and whole body counter
3.
Forthright attention to the procedures which will keep
exposures as low as practicable.
4.
The most critical element of the population receiving the
highest exposure will be used in applying numerical criteria
5.
Use of dynamic life style and diet adapted to radiological
conditions during the lifetime of returnees and later
generations
6.
Dataon total annual exposures for those receiving highest
exposures
