With our
current level of understanding and confidence, the application of the Enewetak
50 percent criterion is no longer justified.
The Eneu situation should thus
be evaluated against the 500 mrem/yr (5 rem/30 yr) guideline.

The most recent information regarding dose and risk which has been provided
the Bikini people is contained in a bilingual book entitled "The Meaning of
Radiation at Bikini Atoll."
A copy of that book is enclosed with this letter.
On page 21, full-time residence on Eneu is discussed, with two alternative
cases:
(a) with imported food available, and (b) with only Eneu-grown food
available.
The expected doses and their predicted consequences are tabulated.
The largest predicted one year dose for an individual is 390 mrem in case a;
780 mrem in case b.
(It is noted that this dose may not actually be received
by any individual.
The average dose to the population, and therefore the most
likely dose to an individual, would be approximately 1/3 of this largest
predicted dose.)
