rehabilitated. While they may go anywhere in the Atoll for purposes such as fishing and food collection, homes and community facilities are to be built only on Eneu and Bikini. In answer to @ question, the Bikinians were told that food from the lagoon would be safe to eat. Certain precautions were to be taken in planting Pandanus, and radioactive scrap metal was to be removed from the islands. Questions have since been asked about the conclusions of the committee of experts. As to whether certification can be given that Bikini is radiation free, the answer is that this cannot be done. Such a certi- fication could not be given for any location in any country since there is both natural and man-made radioactivity everywhere. activity vary from place to place. Levels of radio- The levels of man-made radioactivity in Bikini Atoll are still elevated due to tests conducted in the Atoll. However, these levels have been greatly reduced over the years and will continue to decline. The radiation which comes from this radioactivity can be measured with instruments and the radioactivity in foods can be measured in the laboratory. Such measurements have been made for Bikini Atoll, the levels are known, and additional measurements will continue to be made in the future. Sinee the levels of man-made radioactivity in Bikini Atoll as elsewhere are not zero, the question comes to how much radioactivity or radiation is acceptable from a health viewpoint and whether the levels expected for Bikini residents fall within an acceptable range. The answer from
