-6. . diet intake (all foods combined) so we can get a distribution (histogram) of intakes by individuals. Gilbert: Good idea. Bai r: Should look at this distribution Wachholz: Are the diet results biased? Francis: The results of the different for different population groups. diet studies (Jan’s versus the present diet survey) don’t vary a great deal. Are we spending too much time worrying about the diet? Robison: The Advisory Group should review the diet data handed out today. Francis: What are the potassium Robison: We are looking at the data. levels in samples? foods has been measured. The calcium concentrations in native It’s about 0.8 g/day on Enewetak. It’s about 1 g/day in the U.S. Planting Coconut Trees Robison: Doesn’t feel it makes any difference whether coconut trees are planted on the northern islands. If a person lives on Enjebi then he will plant and eat coconuts from Enjebi If coconuts are planted on other northern islands, the concentration in those coconuts will be less than those on Enjebi. the average radionuclide To the extent these coconuts are eaten intake would decline. If people live on the southern islands, they won’t go all the way to the northern islands to get those coconuts. Maximum Individual Robison: We are using 3~as individual an indication of the maximum probable dose to’an (; = maximum annual dose). There are three major places of uncertainty diet, radionuclide concentrations in dose calculations: in food, and uncertainties ● in
