However, the recommended actions to minimize exposure
from radionuclides in food will be needed to insure that the
Pandanus may be eaten when it becomes available and that
exposures over longer times such as 30 and 70 years. remain
within acceptable levels.

The general philosophy, based on both experience and research,
is that 0.5 rad per year provides an acceptable level of whole
pody exposure for individuals.
This value may be used where
sufficient monitoring is performed so that radiation exposures
are known.
