a
personnel from the various laboratories to conduct their own
tests,
Mr, Libby commented on the possibility of establishing the
10-year limit at 5 roentgens and transferring additional but not
all shots to the Pacific,
He then discussed with Dr, Dunning ways
of revising firing conditions of continental shots in order to
remain within a 5 roentgen level.
Mr,
Libby then said he believed
the recommendations of ARC 141/33 should be approved and that the
record of the discussion at the meeting should be a guide to the
test organization in further study of operational means of
limiting fallout,
He also suggested that there should be further
study of the practicality of establishing a 5 roentgen level for
ao 10-year period and the effect on the test program of such a
limit.
Dr. Dunning said that he believed it was much easier to
announce a 10 roentgen level and to point out later that this level
had not becn exceeded vather than to explain why a more stringent 5/
roentgen level,
if adopted,
had been exceeded,
