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, vt . . wee : : . wy ‘ ‘y . .
