The dose estimates obtained used in the dose estimation scheme. are based on hypothetical island average concentrations that may, in some cases, be quite unrealistic. It would seem desirable to compute doses based on the best soil data currently available. This exercise should then be repeated using anticipated soil levels after cleanup has been completed. Specific comments on this report have been provided the authors. Recommendations - The Advisory Group recommends that the authors of the dose assessment report consider these comments in preparing their next draft and that they redirect their efforts somewhat in order to estimate the most probable doses rather than maximum doses. This should not be interpreted to mean that consideration should not also be given to estimating doses to the maximum individuals. Application of Proposed EPA Guidance on Transuranics in Soils to Cleanur Criteria This issue was discussed with EPA staff by Dr. Wachholz prior to the meeting. It is not expected that the EPA will insist on the use of their Guidance as an upper exposure level. However, the EPA has indicated that although reasons for not being able to achieve the Guidance levels are understandable in view of the uniqueness of the Enewetak situation, it is desirable to meet the proposed Guidance. The EPAStates that the proposed Guidance is intended for use in deeds, development and use of public and private lands and was not intended for nuclear weapons test areas. The Advisory Group recommends that although the EPA Guidance is not intended to apply to such areas as Enewetak and does not appear to be a prerequisite for resettlement, every reasonable
