Radiological Implications of Data Obtained from the Survey
a,

Guidelines against which Survey Findings will be Compared
The radiological survey of Enewetak Atoll provides a comprehensive

data base needed to derive judgments and recommendations relative
to the radiologically safe return of the Enewetak people.

These

judgments are based on an evaluation of the significance of all
radioactivity on the Atoll in terms of the total exposure to be
expected in the returning population, and recommendations as to
reasonable actions and constraints which, where made, will resuit
in minimum exposures,

The guidelines used in deriving these recommendations can be
summarized as two interdependent considerations:
1.

Expected exposures should be minimized and shouldfall
in a range consistent with guidance put forward bythe |
International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP)
(see Table 1 and Appendix I for summaries of these radiation
protection standards and for planned application),

2.

Actions taken to reduce exposures should be those which
show promise of significant exposure reduction when weighed
against total expected exposures and the "costs" of the actions,
