FCZ SUBJECT: Bair Committee Recommendation -Plutonium would be removed from the three burial crypts on Aomon. -Casalvable non-radioactive and non-combustible material would be disposed of by dumping in the lagoon at selected locations for forming artificial reefs. -Radioactive materials would be disposed of as discussed in Section 5.4.3.2.3, namely by containment in Lacrosse and, if necessary, Cactus craters on Runit. 4. From the information cited, it appears that the intent of the case-bycase soil cleanup criteria is to maximize the economic benefits, and minimize long term radiation exposure to the Dri-Enewetak by judicious application of available resources. Decision on resource expenditure should then be based on the following considerations: a. Planned and/or potential (long term) use of the island to include consideration of relative size; relative amount of time occupied by Dri- Enewetak. Potential should consider need for future residence indicated by predicted population increase. b. Extent and degree of contamination. c. Extent of other cleanup action required. active debris removal) d. (Radioactive/non-radio- Availability of cleanup resources, to include crater containment. 5. Under these considerations an island whose planned use is intensive agriculture should take priority over an island whose planned use is food gathering. An island whose planned use is food gathering, but whose size gives a potential for agriculture, should take priority over an island whose size will not support agricultural use. An island whose planned use is agriculture, but whose size give a potential for residential use, should have priority over any island not having residential potential use. Levels of contamination to be left after cleanup should consider the relative amount of time the island will be occupied by Dri-—Enewetak. Relatively little time will be spent on food gathering islands, and the activities conducted there do not have a high resuspension potential. Time spent on agricultural islands will be higher than for food gathering islands but less than residential islands. Residential, or potential residential islands, should have the lowest levels of Pu 239/240 contamination after cleanup. The island of Runit constitutes a special case.
