experts is that exposures at Bikini Atoll are expected to be acceptable.’ Predicted exposures are well within the radiation safety standards set by national and international bodies of experts provided certain precautions are taken. The Committee of experts who evaluated the safety of returning to Bikini Atoll recommended measures that should reduce radiation exposures and insure that exposures remain acceptable for all future time. One recommendaticn is that periodic resurveys of Bikini Atoll should be conducted that will provide a continual check on the radiation status of the people ana the environment and that will help form the basis for decision as to the time of rehabilitation of islands outside of the BikiniEneu complex. This continuing monitoring of the environment at Bikini Atoll is no different than the monitoring conducted throughout the United States wherein measurements of radiation and radioactivity in foods are made . It would be unusual not to make such measurements for the Bikini people considering such measurements are made for the people in the U. S. . As to levels of radioactivity in foods in Bikini Atoll, two foods should be mentioned, namely, coconut crab and Pandanus. of experts did not recommend that eating coconut crab be The Committee prohibited. - Rather, coconut crab should not be eaten in such quentity that it forms ‘a major part of the diet to the exclusion of other foods which generally we - | TF 36 3 10K?
