Yable IV presents a comparison of estimated daily dietary intake values
that may apply if certain items of the diet are included or excluded.

A number of observations may be made:

7

Updating Gustafson's estimates with 1969 monitoring results
increases the intake estimate for the total diet by about 50%
for 0c, and 68% for 13Tos,

The items contributing most to

this increase are Pandanus and Crab.
2.
|

Updating intake estimates with 1969 data and assuming no intake
of Pandanus, Arrowroot or Crab (the diet used in Gustafson's
dose predictions) shows a minor change when compared with

ord

Gustafson's intake estimates.
3.

Updated data indicate that including Arrowroot in the diet (no
Pandanus or Crabs) increases the

90

7’Sr intake by a factor of

about 2 and 137 Cs intake remains about the same.

4.

Updated data indicate that including Arrowroot and Crab in the
G@iet (no Pandanus) increases the 905, intake by a factor of 6

to 7 and increases the 137 Cs intake by a factor of about 2.
In the section on "Summary of Radiation Exposure” in Attachment 1
‘there is the statement ‘that, "It is unlikely that the whole body exposure,
or the exposure to specific organs including bone, will exceed h rads in

5 years, 15 rads in 30 years or 30 rads in 70 years."
