through inhalation, New information on the abundance of other transuranics in Enewetak soil and proposed new EPA guidance are reasons that all transuranic isotopes deserve to be considered in the cleanup criteria. Consequently, the _conference made a tentative agreement subject to confirmation or change, once the full scope is known, that the soil cleanup criteria would be considered to apply to all transuranic isotopes. For practical purposes, these are con- sidered to be 238,239,240py, 241am. Since cleanup planning was based on removal of soil contaminated with 239, 240py, this change in definition of cleanup criteria might mean the degree of cleanup of certain islands may be more or less than planned in view of the fixed level of funding. b. Characterization of Radiological Conditions. Radiological characterization of all the islands, to determine the work that must be done to make each island suitable for its intended use, should be completed as expeditiously as possible. To achieve this radiological characterization of the northern islands, it was agreed that priority for available resources should be devoted to the survey effort for these critical islands constituting 90 per cent of the soil cleanup effort. These resources include boat and other JTG assets as well as DOE laboratory and analytical capability. The specific islands of principal concern were listed as Lujor (Pearl), Aomon (Sally), Enjebi (Janet) and Boken (Irene). Initial survey on these islands is completed or near completion, of survey results are in progress. Data reduction and interpretation Characterization of Bokoluo (Alice), Bokombako (Belle} and Louj (Daisy) must be also accomplished but characterization can be completed with some lesser degree of urgency. To present a complete characterization of the work required for northern island soil cleanup, Runit (Yvonne), and other northern islands not mentioned above, must also be characterized. It was estimated that the characterization effort should be completed not later than 15 March 1978. . DOE agreed to conduct a review of its radiolological survey and assessment program in support of day-to-day cleanup plans and operations. DOE will endeavor to speed up characterization of the islands and determine additional resources that are needed to complete characterization in line with DNA operational plans. This review should be completed not later than 17 January 1978. Cc. . Cleanup Priorities. (1) The basis of planning for the cleanup of individual_islands..___.. within the Enewetak Atoll shall be as shown in the land use map, Case III, Volume I of the Environmental Impact Statement. The use categories of the Atoll Islands (i,e. - Major Inhabited Islands, Agricultural Islands, Visiting and Food Gathering Islands) will be used as a basis for the degree of cleanup that is required. The degree of cleanup of the islands of Runit and Enjebi will be reviewed after the characterization of all islands has been completed and once a determination of resources required to clean all islands to their intended use is made,
