Page 5 ‘ 8.16 Impact, of Blasting During Cleanup - Numan Iealth The draft statement indicates that all. kinds of shellfish may be consumed by the people populaiting the islands. It appears the best shellfish growing sité in the lagoon is the blast area. Because shellfish. tend to concentrate pollutants, including radionuclides, we believe extensive sampling and testing (for fission and activation products) should be undertaken before any shellfish growing areas are harvested. : : on 8.22 Imvact of Toxic Materials Encountered Durjng Cleanuo mentee es Camee We note that berylliun contaminated materials will be disposed of along with the radioactive material. However, no mention is made concerning the safeguards neeced for the workers conducting the cleanup.
