ground is considered to be the principal pathway for receiving dose from these elements. (Less than 0.001 rem in 30 years to lung is predicted by the pathway for the planned Enewetak lifestyle.) To minimize this dose pathway and to allow for wnlimited use of Enewetak Atoll in the future, the cleanup concentrated on the removal of high concentrations of transuranic elements present in soil. The excised soil was encrypted along with the radioactive debris on the quarantined island. Transuranic elements at Enewetak will not contribute significantly to any dose resettlers receive, and residual levels are now sufficiently low that wore extensive use of the atoll is foreseeable in the future. Bikini Atoll was a second site of nuclear weapons testing and it was resettled in the early 1970's. Dose estimation methods available at that time were not as valid as methods available in planning the Enewetak resettlement. Recent assessments revealed that the Bikinians were receiving radiation doses which, if continued, might cause permissible limits to be exceeded. To avoid that possibility, the Bikinians were relocated from their atoll. Although Bikini and Enewetak Atolls are equivalent in most respects, they differ significantly in regards to Tadioactivity and the lifestyle authorized. At Bikini Atoll, the tesidence island is over 100 times more contaminated with significant radioactivity from nuclear weapons tests than any of the islands to serve as residence in the lifestyle planned for Enewetak Atoll. Addi- tionally, the Bikini residence island is the principal source of domestic food and it camtains about 10 times more radioactivity than do the a, 7 Se Ry Di Aierlinroreal Vas northern ‘coconut isiandas’ at Enewetak Atoll. Accordingly, if the People of Enewetak abide by the reasonable restrictions to which they have agreed, it is not likely that they will receive radiation doses in excess of recognizable limits or suffer any additional relocations.
