If pandanus and breadfruit are to be grown on northern islands other
than JANET, the criteria of Option IV c should apply, i.e., plant in
soil having a 905, content of 4.6 pCi/gm or less, or bring clean soil
to the stand vith a depth sufficient to contain the roots of these
trees.

If these actions achieved a level of exposure reduction as large as the
caleulational result, this would permit use of the entire atoll according to
the Master Plan.

This option is clearly much more expensive than other

options since it requires removal of additional soil and requires reconstitution of soil in the cleared areas.

Consideration of these actions as

a viable option is clouded by uncertainties regarding the exposure reduction
that can be achieved through partial soil removal and by selective soil
replacement.

For comparative purposes, population dose estimates for Options I-V are
presented in Table 11.

RECOMMENDATIONS
After careful review of all available radiological data the Task Group
members ' specific recommendations are as follows:
