Marshallese: Ray: That is your purpose? That is correct. that. That is your major purpose? That was the assignment that was given us, to do There is no question that some of the information that we obtained during the Wheeling survey could be used for a separate study, if one chose to make such a study, of what that means about what was 10 years ago. It would not be as precise as what we can do about predicting toward the future. But we could make some, we could draw some conclusions from what we see today as to what was there 10 years ago. Marshallese: I still feel a little confused with that information but let “me go on to my third question. So, now regarding the diet of Mejit and the, specifically the foods grown in the soils at Mejit, I want to know is there any harm to us, the population of Mejit, by our eating plants that are grown in our own soil at our own atoll, our own island? Robison: The doses that we’estimate and that are on the sheets and in the pamphlets we have, are based upon the Brookhaven diet and those are fairly high amounts of intakes of coconuts, and the doses we predict for Mejit are no higher, the total dose we predict on Mejit, are no higher than what most other people in the world live in and get exposed to, in fact, less than most. Marshallese: this food? My question is will we have any harm result from our eating Will we have harm come to us or not? Bair: You should not have any harm come to you from eating the food from Mejit. If you look at the table you will see that the highest amount that anybody on the, on Mejit would receive in one year is 100 mrems. All over the world the governments are prepared to allow their people to have as much as 500 mrem per year. all over the world. That's a radiation standard that is accepted So you see that even the highest person, which is..., the highest person would only receive 100 mrem. would be allowed in all countries of the world. 16 This is one-fifth of what
