11. A comprehensive air sampling program should be conducted over a period
of 12 consecutive months under conditions closely approximating
human habitation and expected soil disturbance.

This would add to

the body of available information on radioactivity levels in air.
This program could be conducted coincident with and in support of
cleanup operations.
12. Base-line surveys of body burdens and urine content of 13766 and
905, should be made for the Enewetak people prior to return to
Enewetak Atoll, after the first year of residence, and as appropriate
thereafter.

Resurveys of the environmental radiation and radioactivity

levels should be made starting in the first year of return and
repeated every other-year.

To be determined is the adequacy of the

diet and the actual average daily dietary intake of radioactivity for
various age eros

radioactivity levels in water, air, soil, plants, and animals are
changing with time.

(Included should be measurements of radionuclide

content of air and collection of information on the chemical and physical

form and size distribution of particles in the air containing 2395u.)
Information from such surveys will provide a continuing check of
the radiological status of the people and the environment and will
assure that the exposure criteria is not being apprceached or exceeded.
13. Considering that the method of disposal of plutonium contaminated soil
and scrap has not yet been decided, that not enough information is
availabie to determine whether it is feasible to remove plutonium from
the soil to reduce the amount of material requiring disposal, and not
wanting such probiems to deiay cleanup and rehabililation of the
Atoll, the Task Group recommends the following:
