e The survey report, plus the Master Plan for Rehabilitation and resettlement of Enewetak Atoll*, provide information on possible living patterns and diet of the Enewetak people. e Several important components of the Enewetakese diet are either not now available on the Atoll, or are available in quantities which are small compared to the needs of the people. available at all, but will be reintroduced. Pigs and chickens are not No breadfruit is growing now; pandanus and tacea are growing only in scattered locations; and coconut is growing in quantity only on the southern islands. Bread- fruit, pandanus, tacca, and coconut must be planted and will begin to produce crops after about 8 years. Radiation dose estimates for these foods have had to be based on correlations with plants and animals now present on the Atoll and on inferences drawn from earlier surveys on Bikini and Rongelap. There are many data points, and these correlations provide the best method currently available for estimating internal exposures. Nevertheless, the method is not as reliable as direct measurement of the foods produced in the areas of concern. oe Air sampling at Enewetak, accomplished largely during a 3 week period in December 1972 on uninhabited northern islands, showed extremely low levels if airborne radioactivity. Comprehensive air sampling during 12 consecutive months under conditions closely approximating human habitation and soil disturbance would provide more accurate data on which to base inhalation exposure estimates. *The report, "“Enewetak Atoll Master Plan for Island Rehabilitation and Resettlement,'' (3 Vols.), Holmes and Narver, Inc., Nov. 1973, contains information on the preferred living pattern for resettlement of Atoll obtained prior to completion of the AEC evaluation of radiological survey findings.. The people are to be given another opportunity to express their views on the remedial actions under consideration by the AEC after they have been informed of radiological conditions in the Atoll, and the subjects of radiation exposure, radiation standards, radiation protection objectives, and remedial measures and their effectiveness have been discussed. ~3-
