-2must be met. First, the annual dose to individuals should not exceed 500 mRem/Yr, The standards state, “This guide applies when individual whole body doses are known.” To comply with this requirement for Bikini Island residents, a monitoring program was begun approximately five years ago. Second, the average dose over 30 years to the population should not exceed j,000 mRem. Federal standards contain the suggestion that exposures of individuals in a population group may differ from the average by a factor of three. ASSUMPTIONS Predictions of maximum annual exposures of Eneu residents are based upon conservative assumptions regarding the average amount of daily food intake that may occur. The diet of some individuals may differ from the average such that their exposures will be higher or lower than this prediction. This was observed in the whole body measurements of Bikini Islanders 137CS body burdens where the highest measurements were three times the average. FINDINGS The estimated average annual dose for people living on Eneu Island who would eat locally grown food including coconuts is between 250 and 300 mRem/Yr. The estimated 30-year dose for the population is about 7~000 mRem. If the dose for those people who were previously living on Bikini Island is added to the dose for living on Eneu, the total 30-year dose would be about 8,5oo
