6. RECOMMENDATIONS (1) For subsequent studies of radiological contamination at weapons test sites it would be advantageous to all concerned to start the program planning sufficiently far in advance of the tests to insure better coordination with the task force. (2) A laboratory should be established on Parry Island, Eniwetok, to serve as headquarters for persons work- ing on radiological studies of the faune and flora of the atolls. (3) Continuity in the study of problems of radiological contamination is essential at Eniwetok and Bikini in order to formulate a basis for understanding the scope, direction, and duration of the problems (4) involved. Studies by a staff of specialists should be conducted at Eniwetok. These specialists might serve on 4 rota- tion plan so that, although the number of persons at the atoll at any one time might be limited, the total observational, collecting and study contributions made by such individuals would be great. (5) Laboratory-type experiments, both at Eniwetok and at laboratories on the mainland, ere essentiel to an eval- uation of the phenomena observed during and following the test programs. (6) Increased emphasis is needed to evaluate the physical nature of the radioactive materials and the mode of contamination. - 107 -
