The dose assessment group will use input

material from Jack Tobin as to where the returning natives will want

to place their homes and how they will live in the atoll. Information
on their habits and dietary practices will be fed into the dose predictions. The key judgement on whether Eniwetok can be rehabilitated
at this time will revolve around whether the total exposures developed
from the dose assessment efforts are acceptable. While we cannot
unilaterally say what is acceptable, there is reason to believe that
exposures to individuals that exceed the Federal Radiation Council
Radiation Protection Guides would not be acceptable.

Once recommendations have been made by the group that performs the
function equivalent to the Bikini Ad Hoc Committee, specific cleanup
_ guides for use in field operations can be specified. This is the task
for which 0S is to provide leadership. Specific guides will be developed
for use in the field to perform cleanup operations. These guides and
requirements will likely address the following items:

Surface gamma and beta-gamma guides.
