Since then, however, we have learned that:
1.

The restrictions on the location of the first village and
of food crops were not followed.

2.

‘he precautions the people needed to take to keep exposures
down were neither simple to understand nor easy to apply.

3.

Yhe effort to provide alternate foods to reduce use of
locally grown foods, (to keep radiation standards from
being exceeded) was not successful.

r.

The level of the people's understanding of precautions
needed to reduce and control exposures is not well known
but in view of their actions we assume it is very poor.
If food is locally grown and available it will be eaten by
some persons in spite of restrictions against its use.

5.

The consurption of certain locally grown foods will be
determined in part by local conditions.
For instance, the
amount of coconut milk used may be influenced by the
adequacy of fresh water supplies (where there is a shortage
of water, people will drink more coconut milk).
Storm
damage con place coconuts or other terrestrial grown foods

in short supply thereby changing the diet, kind (source),
and amount of food consumed.

As for the intended purpose and use of the next round of

Bikini dose estimates, these will be used as the basis for

advice on whether or not the Bikini peopie should return to

live on Enev Island.

Predicted doses, expressed as the highest

annual whole bedy and bone marrow doses for individuals ana

30-year whole body doses for the population, from all contri-

buting vadionuclides, will be evaluated using current radiation
stendards.
As at Enewetak, 50 percent of annual. and &0 percent
of 30-year standards will be used in evaluating resettlement
options.

Doses

from transuraniwn elements will be

compared with

the 1 mRad/yr to lung and 3 mRad/yr to bene as presented in
EPA's proposed guidelines.
JTL the radiological data base is
adequate Lt would be most helpful to have dose cstimates for

the three options listed below.

Among these, results for

option I are essential to providing additional advice to DOI.
Therefore option I should be given highest priority.
I.

lagoon:
