5. The importance of coconut in the diet is reflected in the maximum annual and integral doses which for Eneu are about two times those of Rongelap. 6. Thus, the uptake of 137CS in “Yap Variety” coconuts on Rongelap must be determined and compared with the uptake in young and old “old variety” coconuts. 7. An evaluation could then be made if consumption of “Yap Variety” coconuts on Rongelap could lead to higher doses that we estimated the Northern Marsha-l Prediction wholebody Islands Radiological Survey. of body burdens us ng the NMIRS data agree very well with the BNL measurements. This probably is because most of the coconut con-_ sumption is still from “old variety” trees and our sampling during the NMIRS was predominately “old variety.” However, the issue of the increased use of the “Yap Variety” coconut and the impact on doses could be raised and that question must be answered. 20 in
