These guides are Atomic Energy Commission Task
Group Report recommendations applicable to the
mewetak Atoll situation. In general, they adopt the
radiation protection guides of the Federal Radiation
Council (FRC), except for all-individual dose limits
and for population group gonad dose limits. The
FRC individual dose guides are reduced by 50 percent
and the FRC population group gonad dose guide is
reduced by 20 percent to allow'for uncertainties in
dose predictions.
