LIST OF QUESTIONS SUBMITTED TO OSCAR DEBRUM FROM THE MICRONESIAN INDEPENDENT 1. ERDA has agreed to accelerate its followup survey program of Bikini because of master plan developments and ‘things learned in the Enewetak Atoll survey’. What were these 'things' learned in the Enewetak Atoll Survey, and how did these things cause ERDA to want to accelerate its survey? Is it safe to assume that the Enewetak Survey uncovered unsuspected radiation dangers that were not apparent in the earlier Bikini survey? 2. How did the Enewetak Survey differ from the Bikini survey? Would ERDA recommend a complete new survey of Bikini using techniques and criteria developed for the Enewetak survey? 3. How does the level of radiation on Bikini compare with the radiation levels 4. ERDA reports very low levels of radioactivity in bodies of persons living now on Bikini--is this low level in relationship to upper limits of acceptable radiation or to normal human body radiation of people who have not been exposed to other than normal radiation? 5. Bikinians have been.told that they may travel to other islands in the lagoon other than Enyu and Bikini but that they should not stay for periods of more than 24 hours. What effect would varying amounts of travel to these islands have on the body radiation level of the Bikinians? Has any thought been given to declaring these islands completely off limits for health on Enewetak? . reasons? 6. Case No. 2 of assumed living patterns on Bikini specifies limited use of Bikini Island with residence in houses already constructed, no additional construction, no use of food grown except coconut, unrestricted use of fish and use of Bikini Island water for agriculture only. What agriculture? Is this understood to be limited to coconut production only? 7. When, and by whom, were Federal Radiation Guide Values (total for external and internal doses) developed? Are there other guidelines known by ERDA? If so, what are the sources of these other guidelines? Attachment A
