Recommended Guides

.

The standards issued by FRC are recormended as the basic guidance for
evaluation of exposures to individuals to Enewetak.

This is recomended

with provisos that:

1.

The full amount of the numerical values should not be used for
evaluating exposures from a single man-made source, in this case
radioactivity from weapons tests.

Tnais is applied so that the

Enewetak people will not be denied benefits of future auciear
technolory because they are receiving exposures from man-nade
radiation at the maximum level of acceptable standards.
Enyvironmeatal followup surveys and studies of radioactivity levels
in people are performed such that the full range of radiation
sposures of individual nenbers of the Mnevetak population will be
Lnam
Ve

Exposures of the ECnevetax people are kept to the minimun practicable
level.

Survey, Cleanup, and Rehabilitation Tvaluation
It is recomaended in this context that:

1.

The PRC Radiation Protection Guide (RPG's) for individuals sheuld be
used as the basic standard.

The requirenent is to assure that exposures

for continuous residence in Enevetak Atoll will be well within the

annual and 30 year criterion.

‘while these are conservative standards

from a health view point, there is no builtin conservatism to account
for uncertainty in prediction of annual exposures to individuals,
Because of the complex circuastances of exposure and the many pathways,
each with its uncertainty, the Task Group recommends use of 5) percent
