There is no distinction in the Marshallese text between “of radiation people might receive in the coming 30 years” and “of radiation a person The English translation made the might receive in the coming 30 years.” distinction using the word people for the populated islands and the word person for the nonpopulated islands, but I do not recall the reason for this. The scientists referred to in the second paragraph are the authors of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Report, UCRL-52853 Pt. 4, September 30, 1982. The scientists are Drs. W. L. Robison, M. L. Mount, W. A. Phillips, C. A. Conrado, M. L. Stuart, and C. E. Stoker, of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The specific basis for the estimates cited in the DOE-1982 booklet was the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Report, UCRL-52853 Pt. 4, September 30, 1982, which in turn is based upon the results of the radiological survey. The figures presented on page 39 were based on actual calculations and measurements developed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists. The figures presented on page 39 were taken from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Report, UCRL-52853 Pt. 4, September 30, 1982. Although calculated from actual measurements, the figures are estimates because it is not possible to predict precisely the radiation doses any individual will receive during the next 30 years. mount pertains to the hypothetical person who, because of The largest unusual dietary practices and/or metabolism, would be expected to take in and retain more radioactivity than the average person. pertains to the average dose calculated using the The highest average diet that yields the highest dose value. doses were In the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory report, average calculated using two different diets. The highest average dose was used in the DOE-1982 booklet. amount and highest average were explained The difference between largest in (i) and (j). The figure 400 millirem applies exclusively to Rongelap Island and the consumption of local food grown only on Rongelap Island plus imported food as described on pages 29 and 40 in the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Report, UCRL-52853 Pt. 4, September 30, 1982. The figures 2500 millirem and 3300 millirem apply exclusively to : Rongelap Island and the consumption of local food grown only on Rongelap Island plus imported food as described on pages 29 and 43 in the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Report, UCRL-52853 Pt. 4., September 30, 1982. 6
