2. DRAFT radionuclide concentrations expected in the terrestrial food products. The results are listed in Table 18. During the June survey a fully grown pig and two chickens which had been born and raised on Bikini Island were obtained for analysis. The pig and chickens roamed freely around the island so the radionuclide concentrations measured in these animals reflect the integrated diet of the animals. Analysis of these samples serve to determine ingestion via the meat pathway. The estimates for the radionuclide concentration expected in meat on Eneu were determined by multiplying the observed concentrations in the meat samples from Bikini Island by the ratio of the average Eneu-Bikini soil concentrations. Since most of the animal diet consists of vegetation and a certain amount of soil, this ratioing procedure should predict reasonable concentrations for domestic animals raised on Eneu. Although coconut crabs were not collected during the June 1975 survey they have been collected during previous visits to the islands. As a result, the values listed for coconut crab in Table 18 were determined from data resulting from collections in 1969, 1972, and 1974 (22, 26, 30). | Concentrations in food products for periods after June 1975 are calculated assuming that the only loss of radionuclides from the environment is the result of physical decay of each radionuclide. This conservative approach was adopted because we lack any definitive in- formation which would indicate that environmental processes might result in more rapid effective removal of radionuclides from the environment. As a result, any environmental process which might cause the removal eTos:
