It may be vossible to reduce the amount of material requiring disposal
by removal of the plutonium from the most highly contaminated soil.
The
Task Group does not have adequate information to determine whether this may
be feasible.
Research to determine whether this can be accomplished could be
conducted with YVONNE used as the study site.
TASK GROUP OBSERVATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
In the radiologically complex Enewetak Atoll environment there are a
large number of options that may be considered for cleanup and rehabilitation
of various islands.
The Task Group has considered as many of these as

Regarding each option, the following have
been considered.
1.
Determination of the radiological exposure to be expected and
comparison of predicted exposures with accepted radiation exposure
criteria.
2.
The feasibility of actions or restrictions inherent in the option.
3.
The effectiveness of the option in bringing exposures within the
criteria and any uncertainties regarding the effectiveness.
