-8- Noshkin Richmond: (Health Physics, 1974) reported ground (well) water exceeded guidelines. Robison: People use surface water. Wachholz: The Bikini people have raised the question of well water. Robison: We will include well water in dose calculations. Wachholz: DOE does not want another Bikini situation, i.e., returning people to the islands, then pulling them out. Healy: Future measurements inappropriate may result. assessment Wachholz: may be taken under situations where the model is and a dose exceeding guidelines (on a short term basis) Then DOE will be in hot water again. Should the dose paper discuss such scenarios? Questions will be asked as to what changes (in diet, living patterns, etc.) can be made that would change dose estimates. Robison: Get much lower doses if coconuts are not consumed. \ General discussion of coconut intake. Francis: - Is Cobalt-60 a problem? There is quite a bit of CO-60 in soil, but the uptake of CO-60 is very low. Some CO-60 was reported in rats in NVO-140. Robison: CO-60 contribution to dose is very
