5.4.1.2 Possible Food Sources. The results of the radiological survey show high levels of contamination on the northern islands and low levels on the southern islands. Thus, one option would be to allow the people to eat food grown only on the southern islands. However, it is most likely that the people will eat largely imported foods for the next few years (Kiste, 1974; Tobin, 1973; Marsh, 1973) as it will require several years for trees to provide sufficient fruit forall. To furnish the Enewetak people the purchasing power for imported foods, one sourceof revenue could be coconut agriculture to produce copra (Enewetak Master Plan, TabD ‘Vol. Il. It may be desirable to use the northern islands for coconut agriculture, although exercise of this option may require that coconut seedlings be planted in soil that is not contaminated with radionuclides. Consideration is also being given to the possibility of continued cultivation of land on Ujelang to alleviate problems of this nature. 5.4.1.3 Subsistence and Commercial Agricultural Patterns. As noted earlier, the driEnjebi desire to live on the northern islands, particularly the island of Enjebi. If these people were to live on those islands, care _ would have to be taken to ensure that at least pandanus and breadfruit are grown in nonradioactive soil. Thatis, a village site on Enjebi drawing on food resources grown in Enjebi soil, would require pandanus and breadfruit, which are either grown in nonradioactive soil on Enjebi or are imported to Enjebi. To provide the farm plots for pandanus and breadfruit, the existing soil will have to be removed and nonradioactive soil be put in place of it in sufficient volume to contain the roots of these plants. (As will be discussed later, it does not appear possible to remove sufficient radioactive soil from Enjebi to permit people to live there or to grow food there for some time to come.) To summarize, the options for food source control that appear acceptable for further discussion include: e No control over food sources. e@ FPeopie living on Enjebi would use food grown anywhere on Enjebi, other than pandanus and breadfruit. Pandanus and breadfruit eaten by the residents of Enjebi would either be grown in farm plots or imported. @ Food for all the people would either be imported or grown only on the southern islands, except for coconut agriculture on the northern islands. Coconut culture includes growing both subsistence and commercial coconuts. e All food must either be imported or grown only on southern piadarry Cocormalyy islands.“ 5-10
