with age as these would influence dose to the fetus, the newborn, to

Estimates are developed both for persons who

parents to the Atoll.

Conservative values have been selected for variables in models for
assessment of expected doses.

Though conservative, the estimates are not

considered ultra conservative and do not constitute the theoretical
maximum credible or worst case exposure.

These conservative estimates of

expected maximum annual exposure presented in Appendix IV are considered by
the Task Group to be applicable to individuals in the Enewetak population,
There will be few persons within this population at any one time who are fetus,
newborn, or infants, believed to be the most sensitive members.

Therefore,

the predicted exposures are judged suitable for comparison with FRC exposure
guides for individuals within an exposed population.
