LANSL University of California LOS ALAMOSSCIENTIFIC LABORATORY Los Alamos, New Mexico 87545 TO 11. DATE: -3- W. L. Robison pp. 15, of 0.19 3rd parag. and 0.24 14, August 1979 Where did the respirable fractions in Table 5 come from? Are these comparable to the value of 0.3 used for calculation? 12. pp. 16, ist parag. The drinking water is referred to-- Table 7, 8 and 9. Here we find assumptions that the cistern drinking water is the or Kwajelein. Is there any same as that justification for Bikini for these assumptions? 13. pp. 17, 14. pp. 20, 1st sentence. last parag. This sentence is not complete. As I indicated on the phone, I believe the word "famine" to be completely non~descriptive of the situation of no imported foods. Even if it is an accurate-translation;— it- implies-a—condition that does not exist, at least at the present, because there will be ample food in the lagoon and on the islands once the crops are of a sufficient size. 15. pp. 21, 1st parag. The coining of the term “subsistence food" to describe foods adds confusion to the discussion and implies that this is a "subsistence" diet. However, if one looks at the diets, a considerable amount of. local food is included even under "normal" conditions. I would drop this term with its implication and refer simply to local foods. that the diet figures--do not really support Note your statement that imported foods are preferred over local foods.._ About the-same amounts of local foods are eaten in either condition. 16. pp. 21. Has any consideration been given to the fact that this survey was made for Ujelang, a much smaller atoll? What is the justification that the consumption of local foods andtypes of local foods will be the same on Enewetak? as a possibility? 17. Shouldn't this at least be mentioned pp. 28, last parag. No information is given on how the child dose was calculated. This would include body weights, GI uptake and method of calculating dose to bone marrow in the immature skeleton. . 18. pp. 31 & 32, 137 '°"cs and 599g. ghe uptake from the GI tract that was used should be given for each of these.
