HOW DID THE COMMITTEE OF EXPERTS DECIDE BIKINI IS SAFE? A. They reviewed measurements and data that had been accumulated during past surveys, then met with the 1967 survey team. Pre- dictions were made of the total radiation exposure expected to occur from all possible sources if the natives were returned. In their opinion this exposure does not offer a significant threat to health and safety. DOES THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF EXPERTS MEAN THAT THERE IS NO RADIATION ON THE ISLANDS? No. ‘ It means that in the opinion of the AEC and the Committee of experts the type and level of radiation do not offer a signi. ficant threat to health and safety. Cs , HOW MUCH RADIATION WILL THE BIKINIANS BE EXPOSED TO? That will depend on whether or not the recommendations from the Committee of experts are followed. Under thé worst conditions, with all of the recommendations ignored that are intended to minimize intake of radioactivity in food, the exposure in the ‘first five years from internal and external radiation sources still would be within acceptable limits set by the Federal , Faresre0/ FO?
