" * Several important components of the Enewetakese diet are either not now available on the Atoll, or are available in quantities which are small compared to the needs of the people. Pigs and chickens are not available at all, but will be resintroduced. Nc breadfruit is growing now; pandanus and tacca are growing only in scattered locations; and coconut is growing in quantity only on the southern islands. Breadfruit, pan- danus, tacca, and coconut must be planted and will begin to produce crops after about 8 years. Radiation dose estimates for these foods have had to be based on correlations with plants and animals now present on the Atoll and on inferences drawn from earlier surveys on Bikini and Rongelap. There are Many data points, and these correlations provide the best method currently available for estimating internal exposures. Nevertheless, the method is not as reliable as direct measure- ment of the foods produced in the areas of concern." The relationship of the experimental planting program with the Bikini Cleanup can only be stated in terms of the experience in the Bikini Resettle- ment. Experience in the Bikini Resettlement, possibly indicated a lack of specific data to correlate dose to people from contamination in the soil based on the transfer of radioactivity through specific elements of the diet. Whatever data collected on Enjebi may be useful in deriving general uptake factors of various plants in contaminated soil and may be 4c
