Marshallese: I feel my original question hasn’t really been answered because though you say this, that the amount that is in the Marshalls is safe, yet an older lady that would come from an outer island and say why is it that I can’t go to this particular island and the answer would be you should not because it might be harmful. Marshallese: So this seems to be contradictory. So I am really, I am critical of this statement here that stated it is small in the Marshalls. Bair: Is this the statement at the bottom of the page? Buck: Yes. Bair: That has to do with plants and animals. Marshallese: Yes, you say it has to do with plants and animals and yet we are told not to eat the plants at certain places. Bair: The plants may not be harmed because of the radioactive materials in the soil because plants are not very sensitive to radiation. Marshallese: Bair: No. So, then we can’t eat that though? These same plants that will not be harmed because they are not sensitive to their radioactive materials that are taken from the soil still co~tain those radioactive materials and if people eat them those radioactive materials will enter their body and they might cause harm. Marshallese: Why would it cause harm if you say it is a small amount? The small ... Bair: It may not cause harm but it may. (To Alice: What we would like to discuss is the risk, the probability of effects occurring but I don’t know how to do that.) 23
