The higher one on the Rongelap which is Naen, it’s in the north.

Bair:

The radiation dose, the amount of radiation they would get if they lived
there, would be about 6 times more than if they lived on this, on Rongelap
island.

And the risk of having a health effect would be 6 times higher.

(To Alice:

How do you plan to translate that?)

(Alice to DOE Representatives:

I am not sure how... )

Does that mean that you could take 6 times that and that 34 people

Cowan:

would die of cancer in the next 3 years due to the radiation?

Bair:

That is the upper estimate, the highest risk estimate that people

would, that scient” sts would support.

Buck:

This wouldn t be multiplied by 6.

Bair:

No, no.

If they received 6 times as much radiation, than this risk

number would be higher.

f@:

Cowan:

(of 233) living on and

Out of the 233...

Can I use, ask what growth rate you used?

We assumed that the population would increase by a factor of 3.

3% per annum?

Cowan:

Bair:

It would be 0.6 to 3.6.

That would be for the entire population

subsisting on Naen.

-Bair:

This is the high?

No, three times in 30 years, and it is based on the past increases

in the Marshall

Robison:

Islands.

But that again, it is important to understand that, if you talk

about Naen and the number 6 times greater than Rongelap, that’s assuming
that they live there full time and eat all their food from there.
