Proposed Actions - Cleanup Plans - Criteria - Radiological

Criteria for cleanup actions beyond debris and scrap removal and
leading to significant reductions in population exposures and,
hence, to reduction of potential health consequences should have
two objectives:
(1)

To assure that individual exposures are below levels at

which ware is an unacceptable health risk.,It is likely
that doses exceeding those recommended as upper linits

by FRC, NCRP and ICRP (170 mrem per year) for exposure
to population groups will be acceptable for this purpose.
(2)

To reduce population exposures to as low as practicable.
tt

¢ Specific measures to effect such reduction should be based on

cost-benefit considerations.

Since soil manipulation is likely to be

the major method of dose reduction, particular attention will have to
be paid to evaluating the environmental consequences of these procedures.
Criteria will necessarily depend on detailed radiological survey data
for it will be necessary to establish what can be accomplished toward»
reducing exposures by cleanup actions in reference to costs and to

methods for reducing exposures by methods other than cleanup.
Since DOS-AEC has the responsibility for establishing cleanup criteria,
they should have the last word regarding input to DOD-DOI in this area.
