Yates 3 May 23, 1990 I am puzzled by these statements. The resettlement of Enewetak “Island occurred well before the decontamination of the Atoll's northern islands had been accomplished. Furthermore, no decontamination of the Island was done. There was, however, a "cleanup" to rid the Island of worn out equipment and trash, accumulated when Enewetak served as a logistical supply center for the testing program. Intellectual Honesty Senator Mnjain et al have frequently stated their mistrust -- if not contempt-- for DOE personnel (including scientists) and for myself. I therefore arranged and paid for Dr. Paretzke (Munich), a well-known German scientist, to visit Rongelap Island and Ailinginae Atoll in the presence of Senator Anjain to collect samples of soil, vegetation and meat, and to have them analyzed by two German laboratories, Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (DOE), and by an independent one in Berkeley. Dr. Paretzke concluded that the results showed inter-laboratory agreement and also confirmed previous work by Livermore. Plutonium Mr. Franke recommends using the Durbin excretion functions, officially recommended by the ICRP in the calculation of plutonium dosage. Dr. Durbin has assured me that these functions should net be used in the present circumstances, nor did ICRP publication No. 54 recommend them for this purpose. Instead of the Moss function used by me, one could use the Jones function or that of Leggettt & Eckerman. Dr. Eckerman has told me that the 30-year dose might be twice what I have estimated, which on the basis of current Brookhaven analyses of urine remains trivial. Plan C I have never heard of Plan C. not make sense to me. National Academy of Sciences Review Panel cooperate with such a panel. The comments about it do I am quite willing to Speera Panel I agree that all work relating to health, safety, ecology, etc., should be placed in one office at DOE, separate from weapons, and coordinated. -97- 9000106
