The DOE fully recognizes that habitation of
the northern

islands must be delayed for,

at

least, several half-lives of °°Sr and !°’Cs

but that the cleanup goal was to permit habitation thereafter.
The cleanup criteria recommended for the May
4th meeting were based upon an attempt to

provide the greatest impact with the resources
available.
While the formal calculations indicated that meeting these criteria could result in doses approaching or exceeding the EPA
proposed guidelines, it was believed that these

were conservative values used in the calculations that would result in a large protion of
the northern islands being habitable.

Data are not now available to permit a firm
prediction of doses from transuranics following cleanup.
