Removal of 15 cm of soil in the subsistence agricultural area of JANET.

e.

Removal of 15 cm of soil in the commercial agricultural area of JANET.

These actions result in a theoretical reduction factor of 3 to 4 for 137 66
and 905, in the remaining top cm layer of soil - or have roughly the same
theoretical effect as waiting sixty years for radioactive decay to take place.

Whether food crops would show a similar reduction is uncertain.

This action

would possibly result in an ultimate finding that doses would be below the
criteria but above that expected for people living on the southerm islands.
Most significantly, however, implementation of Option IV a-e would remove
a minimum of 15 cm of soil from essentially the entire island of JANET.

Since

the top soil on that island is charitably described as meager, such action
would leave JANET a sand island.

Heroic actions would be required to either

reconstitute the remaining soil through use of fertilizers and other
additives, or import top soil sufficient to support subsistence and commercial

_. agriculture.

With any of these actions aperiod of time would be requiredy
