resettlement of Enjebi on the same schedule as southern islands. The island can be resettled sometime in the future when radionuclide ingestion is no longer a problem. To develop the facts, test plantings with and without soil removal may be made. Construction and agriculture would be deferred until produce from test plantings showed acceptably low levels of radioactivity. Test plantings without soil removal would have least adverse impact on the island environment. Concurrent with the Enjebi work, radioactivity levels should be measured in cocomut and other food crops grown on PEARL, CLARA, ALICE, and BELLE. Produce from YVONNE shouid be included after removal of plutonium contamination. 5, All radioactive scrap metal and contaminated debris now or later identified should be removed. This includes three locations on SALLY and one on ELMER where buried contaminated debris should be exhumed and removed. YVONNE, quarantined by the USAF in 1972, should remain quarantined until plutonium contamination on that island has been cleaned up. An authority responsible for enforcement of the quarantine should be identified and in residence in the Atoll if people return to the Atoll before cleanup is completed. Only general recommendations for cleanup of Pu on YVONNE can be presented at this time. An accurate picture of this contamination should develop as the decontamination proceeds, The area observed to have small pieces of plutonium and the highest soil concentrations is about 30% of the island. ground for plans for the recovery of Pu will require: a. A back- Assembly of a team of experts to interpret field radiation and radioactivity measurements, advise on cleanup actions and provide necessary health physics support. A Public Health Service group, now part of EPA, provided radiological assistance for cleamup of Bikini Atoll. Similar support should be sought from EPA for Enewetak. b. Decontamination of YVONNE is seen as an iterative process. This amounts to a search for and removal of the higher plutonium levels in soil.
