to a reduction of potential health consequences should have two
objectives:

(1)

To assure that individual exposures are below levels at which
there is an unacceptable health risk.

It is likely that doses exceeding those recommended as upper
limits by FRC, NCRP and ICRP (170 mrem per year)

for exposure

to population groups will be acceptable for this purpose.

(2)

To reduce population exposures to as low as practicable.
Specific measures to effect such reduction should be based

on cost-benefit considerations.

Since soil manipulation is likely

to be the major method of dose reduction, particular attention
will have to be paid to evaluating the environmental consequences
and costs of these procedures.
Criteria will necessarily depend on detailed radiological survey
data for it will be necessary to establish what can be accomplished
toward reducing exposures by cleanup actions in reference to costs
and to methods for reducing exposures by methods other than
cleanup.
Instructions and orientation will be given to the returning
people on those measures essential to radiological health safety.

Provisions will be made to assure that this procedure will cover
returnees, early or late, as long as there remain reasons for precautions.

Any plans for visits by TTPI health personnel for this

purpose may be mentioned.
