Rough Draft Material for Eniwetok Cleanup/Rehabilitation DEIS
Alternative A - no cleanup
If only radioactive scrap and debris are removed, the environmental
impact of cleanup operations will be minimal; however, the DEIS should
describe and evaluate the environmental consequences of the man-made
radioactivity remaining in the environment.

In addition, habitable Land

areas will be distinguished from any uninhabitable areas.

Proposed Actions - Cleanup Plan - Criteria - Radiological

Criteria for cleanup of radioactive scrap and debris developed for
and employed during cleanup of Bikini should be applicable to
Eniwetok, although these criteria should be reviewed by a group of

experts for assurance of their adequacy in 1973-74.

It should be

noted that such cleanup has little effect on human population dose

and is undertaken primarily to reduce the probability of high individual exposures.

Specific statements should deal with radioactive

waste crypts and any other locations where material has been concentrated during post-testing roll up.

Holmes and Narver's records

and Task Force Radsafe records may be reviewed for this purpose.
6 - Environmental Impacts
(4) Effects on Life Systems

Undoubtedly the most significant effects of the residual radioactivity on life systems will be the potential consequences to

health of humans who will live on the atoll.

(See 6.(6) - DOS)

Although it is a Tedielogical topic, some reference should be
made to effects of constraints on land use, e.g., denial of
