Lontamination of Water, Air cng Foadstutts

roentgens, sdequate sampling of the water, eir, and foodstuffs should
be rade to ascertain the conditions of possible contaninetion.

Pased on

past data, however, it is not expected that under those conditions of
fallout where the radiation levels are below those stipulated for pos-

hazerd.

(Nor is it implied here that eny level sbove this does consti-~-
