~: That is correct. Marshallese: Now in some atolls where there is higher radioactive present, the people living there will ingest or have some of that in their bodies. That will be higher than other atolls where it is smaller, like Likiep and Mejit and some of those. Nevertheless, people living there, as they live there, they will continually be absorbing or taking in these radionuclides. Is that correct? ~: That is correct. Marshallese: ~: I just wanted to ask this formy own clarification. And, all three of the statements are correct. But I would like to emphasize as is shown in the booklet, that for most of these places those numbers are very, very small and that the radioactive dose, because of that, is comparable to radioactive, radiation dose that people experience in lots of other places, lots of other conditions in the world. Marshallese: these levels If there had not been tests conducted in the Marshalls, then wouldeven low, nevertheless, be lower than this. Even though you say they are they are higher than they would have been or were prior to the testing of the atomic weapons? ~: Yes, certainly that’s true. Marshallese: It seems to me yesterday the request was made that Wotji be surveyed; and if indeed there is going to be a survey of Wotji, I would request that Taongi further north. The people of Utrik are interested in that atoll for purposes of planting and increasing our food supply as our population increases. that atoll is and So it is of concern to us what the radioactivity of I would suggest that if there is additional surveys conducted for Wotji as requested yesterday also surveyed. 61 then I would like that atoll
