CO George M. Allen, Esquire Page 3 September 19, 1975 (_ Depending on the case involved it may be appropriate to double this risk to include the internal radiation exposure resulting from the food chain. You can make the corrections for different assumptions about the dose rate and the number of people involved. The people of Bikini presented with this type of estimate should decide whether it is an acceptable level of risk. My own opinion is that it is too high, but its not my homeland. , In any event you should require the ERDA (and the other government) scientists to estimate the number of cancers and genetic effects rather than simply comparing the doses to the current radiation protection standards (which in my opinion are inadequate).
