Linae Vy 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.) be about 3 rem.
