BNL is predicting body burdens of 20-22 UCi 137¢s if the people remain
on Bikini and reach equilibrium.
Under these conditions the exposure level may be as much as 7 rad/yr.

What about 90s?

(0.2 pCi 90s, = 6 rad = 30 rem)

(0.2 pci 20sr is the exposure limit
for the individual)

Do the people expect to go back in 1982?

McClellan:

They're there now.

Will the U.S. ultimately have to remove people again?
McClellan:

Who made decision to remove Bikinians?
