work.
However, the recommended acticns to minimize exposure
from radionuctiées in focd will be necicd to insure what the
Pandanus may be eaten when it becomes evailable and the
exposures over longer times such as 30 and 70 years remain
within acceptable levels.
The calculated figures for accumulated
whole body doses are:

30 years
70 years

The Federal Radiation Council's radiation protection guide for

2.5 rads
35 rads
The general philosophy, based on both experience and research,
is that 0.5 red per yeer provides an acceptable level of whole
body exposure for individuals.
This value may be used where
sufficient monitoring is performed so that radiation exposures
are known.
