CHAPTER 6 RECOMMENDATIONS 1, For subsequent studies of radiological contamination at weapons test sites, it would be advantageous to all concerned to start the program planning sufficiently far in advance of the tests to ensure proper coordination with the task force. 2. A laboratory should be established on Parry Island, Eniwetok, to serve as headquarters for persons working on radiological studies of the fauna and flora of the Atolls. 3. Continuity in the study of problems of radiological contamination ts essential at Eniwetok and Bikini in order to formulate a basis for understanding the scope, direction, and duration of the problemsinvolved. 4. Studies by a staff of specialists should be conducted at Eniwetok. These specialists might serve on a rotation pian so that, although the numberof personsat the Atoll at any one time might be limited, the total observational, collecting, and study contributions made by such individuals would be great. 5. Laboratory type experiments, both at Eniwetok and at laboratories on the mainland, are essential to an evaluation of the phenomena observed during and following the test programs. 6. Increased emphasis is needed tc evaluate the physical nature of the radidactive materials and the mode of contamination. UNCLASSIFIED
