Radiological Implications of Data Obtained from the Survey
a,

Guidelines against which Survey Findings will be Compared
The radiological survey of Enewetak Atoll provides a comprehensive
data base needed to derive judgments and recommendations relative
to the radiologically safe return of the Enewetak people,

reasonable actions and constraints which, where made, will result
in minimum exposures,
The guidelines used in deriving these recommendations can be
summarized as two interdependent considerations:
1,

Expected exposures should be minimized and should fall
in a range consistent with guidance put forward by the
International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP)
(see Table 1 and Appendix I for summaries of these radiation
protection standards and for planned application),

2.

Actions taken to reduce exposures should be those which
show promise of significant exposure reduction when weighed
against total expected exposures and the "'costs" of the actions,
