- 18 Paragraph 82 ERDA's SUGGESTED RESPONSE AND/OR COMMENTS (Continued) benefit side of the equation. Considering the fear that has prompted demands for medical evaluation and treatment of any injuries for those who have lived a@ year or more on Bikini Island, it could be that the benefit-risk balance of 1968 is no longer valid. If the people will accept no risk at all, or control of exposures within the standards, then return to Bikini Atoll 83 is not feasible. Ist sentence - defer to DOI and DOD as to what Bikinians were told. 2nd sentence - President Johnson's Jetter speaks for itself. Detalled comment: The terms "'safe'' and "'unsafe'' are used In this paragraph without a precise definition or basis for common understanding. Using these terms as absolutes, f.e., safe means that the chance of injury must be zero and unsafe means the chance of injury is 100 percent, leads to the conclusion that Bikini Atoll is unsafe and will be for thousands of years to come. By the same definition, Kili and the rest of the entire earth are also unsafe due to worldwide fallout, cosmic rays from space, naturalDQE ARCHIVE: radioactivity in the body, and radiation from naturally occurring terrestrial radioactivity.
