effort should be made to comply with the EPA Guidance. The EPA Guidance on dose levels of 1 rem/year to Tungs and 3 rem/year to bone for persons exposed to transuranic elements should be targets for the cleanup effort. However, decisions to reinhabit the atoll should be based on doses calculated from soil, air and vegetation measurements made after cleanup and consideration of the benefits of reinhabiting the islands. Comments and Recommendations on other Issues and Questions Posed to the Advisory Group A. Decisions on plowing should await the results of a plowing experiment to be conducted at Enewetak. It is recommended that a statistician, Madeline Barnes, Jo Jane Giacomini and/or Burt Friesen participate in the planning of the experiment and analysis of the results. Since DNA wants advice on plowing, this experiment should be completed as soon as possible. Resuspension Data on resuspension of Pu and Am contaminated soil particles at Enewetak are insufficient to evaluate the potential inhalation dose to children playing on the ground or adults working in agricultural areas. The Advisory Group'urges that an effort be made to obtain resuspension data of this nature unless it already exists. If it does exist, the Advisory Group welcomes an opportunity to review the data. . Averaging the Soil Concentrations Over Entire Ts lands The committee considered the possibility of using island average concentrations to determine how much soil should be removed, to assess cleanup performance and to calculate doses. The Advisory Group sees no compelling reason to alter the previously agreed upon plan to consider each 1/4 or 1/2 hectare separtely for cleanup. The subject of averaging
