e he The Survey report, plus the Master Plan for Rehabilitation and resettlement of Er.ewetak Atoll*, provide SR-SCREREESComprehensive, gt met and_upntondate-ascessmemt—of cheLiweay living patterns and diet of the Enewetak people. ® Several important components of the Enewetakese diet are either not now available on the atoll, or are available in quantities which are small compared to the needs of the people. Pigs and chickens are not available at all, but will be reintroduced. No breadfruit is growing now; pandanus and tacca are growing only in scattered locations; and coconut is growing in quantity only on the southern islands. Bread- fruit, pandanus, tacca, and coconut must be planted and will begin to produce crops after about eight years. Radiation dose estimates for these foods have had to be based on correlations with plants and animals now present on the atoll and on inferences drawn from earlier surveys on Bikini and Rongelap. There are many data points, and these correlations provide the best method currently available for estimating internal exposures. Nevertheless, the method is not as reliable as direct measurement of the foods produced in the areas of concern. @ Air sampling at Enewetak, accomplished largely during a three week period in December 1972 on uninhabited northern islands, showed extremely low levels of airborne radioactivity.
