which they seek their food. Each of these questions has to be looked at, each of these locations has to be looked at using some assumptions as to what people are doing and for how long and that is what the rest of the booklet will present. This simply tells you that levels of radiation are widely distributed through those regions and they vary even within an atol 1. Now what that means comes next. Marshallese: May I ask what is that level of radiation that this exceeds, if 4 is above? Do you want to answer that Bill? (W: the actual numbers? Bair: ~: Bair: Do you want to give them Yes.) (It’s) The number is more than 100 picocuries per gram in the soil. That is a measurement, that is what 4 is. That is a level of radioactive material in the soil. Suzanne Cowan: limit. Dr. Ray is now saying that the designation 4 has no upper It is a designation above this limit. Whereas how can you say that and Dr. Bair is saying that all these designations are considered not dangerous? Bair: If people lived on these islands that have a level of 4 on them and didn’t eat any food that was grown on those islands they wouldn’t get much radiation exposure. They wouldn’t get much radiation. But if they eat fo~d that is grown on those islands, they would get more radiation depending upon how much food they ate from those islands. ~: up. I think there is a misunderstanding here. Let me try and clear that Dr. Bair did not say that any number is not dangerous. What he said is that the numbers that were measured in this survey would not indicate a dangerous situation at any of these locations. measurements that permit him to say that. 9 We do have actual It is not an open ended thing
