Consideration of needed actions against plutonium in the Eniwetok
Atoll environment will be based on observed levels in the environment
and on current guidelines for Maximum Permissible Concentrations (MPC'S)
in air and water and Maximum Permissible Body Burdens (MPB's) recommended
by ICRP and NCRP.

No generally applicable guideline for plutonium in

soil has been issued by the standards bodies.

Lacking such guidance,

the Task Group will consider maximum concentrations of plutonium in the
Eniwetok soil which will result in lower-than-MPB concentrations.in the
native population through all known dose-to-man pathways.

The Task Group report is to be completed by November 1, 1973 for
transmittal to Division of Operational Safely.
