~4&Table 3 compares the total bone marrow dose (the critical organ for somatic radiation effects) for people living at Bikini, Rongelap, Ucirik, Long Island, New York and Denver, Colorado. Since the people living at Denver have a considerably higher natural radiation and medical, dencal contribution, the exposure to the people living there is probably higher than people living on Bikini. The estimated dose to people on Long Island is somewhat less than Bikini doses, alsa it might be noted that many bie thousands of people living in areas of South America anc India are expose to higher levels than indicated for Bikini due to high thorium contenc of the soil. There have been no reports of increased cancer or otner illness in Denver or these other high level populations that might be related to their increased radiation exposure. BEST AVAILABLE copy More recent data from radiological surveys last June at Bikini shoving higher than expected radiation levels in the interior of Bikini and higher levels in paadanus and breadfruit have resulted in some further vestrictions on the future living patterns of the Bikini people. aAt the time of the Ad Hoc Committee meeting it was not kmown about plans for building houses in Recommendations to put the first village wu and food crops on Eneu were not followed, nor was the recommendation et Qo the interior of Bikini Island, remove topsoil from planting sites of pandanus and breadfruit on Bikini followed.
