Maj. Gen. Frank A. Camm | -2- SEP 15 1972 increased public awareness and concern for the effects of low-level radioactivity on the environment and man almost guarantee that the results, conclusions <nd recommendation will be subject to close public scrutiny. NV has assigned the lead technical role for the cleanup to LLL. However, we believe that it is important to take advantage of the extensive experience in plutonium contamination in various environmental situations, and the long standing studies of the biological effects of plutonium, which have been done at LASL. We understand that there is to be a meeting at LLL on September 19-20, 1972, to review the draft radiological plan, and to develop a final plan for the survey. We plan to have appropriate representatives at the meeting to provide input and approve the plan. To minimize the possibility of oversights, we recommend that another review of the program be made after the survey team returns. Under the authority delegated to this division, I consider the following to be our responsibilities: a. to provide the radiological cleanup criteria and guidelines and the overall exposure criteria for the cleanup operation; b. ec. to provide technical advice and assistance to MA on the adequacy of the survey and cleanup plans; and to assist BER in making the overall dose assessment based upon the data obtained from the radiological survey of the entire atoll. , fy vy in KOLb~ ‘.
