Those on Attached List & an understandable explanation can be given. An education program 1s needed. Someone from DOI/TT should go along on these visits. Need for a bilingual person was stated, possibly someone on the TT staff paid by ERDA. Nidu at BNL could help if he has a translator. There is need to review protocol for this work. There is a need to evaluate the problem of radionuclides in copra. Question on whether U. of Washington could study this. BER will see what can be cone. The problem should be brought to DOI attention. The status of 13 Atoll survey was reviewed. There is a new Navy contact ~ have met with him three times trying to get the planning done that is needed to do the job. There must be a minimum number of ground samples collected to verify aerial data and some quantity of marine, terrestrial food and ground water sampling is needed to calculate dose. After designing the aerial survey, will use what is available in time and resources to get the rest of the data. The problem is, OMB has said ERDA should eat its costs of 1.2M@o? which one half is flying costs. Enewetak cleanup was discussed. Question - How do we influence ‘the DHA approach to cleanup wherein the cleanup commander will place the highest priority for cleanup of Pu (in soil) on Runit Island? Cleanup of soil Pu is to start on islands in the north. DNA will hold back funds to cover Runit cleanup such that another more important cleanup job such as Enjebi, a prospective villaye island, may not be satisfactorily completed. Question - If Enjebi is not cleaned up, what has been accomplished for the people? NV will host (not chair) a DNA meeting in early October to try to better define Runit cleanup. ERDA staff had never expected such a high priority be given to Runit cleanup, particularly at the expense of cleanup of other areas more important to the people. Question - Should we talk to DNA, write letters, what? Possibly the best approach is to have DOI ask DNA the right question. One approach to try is to get DOI staff to set up a briefing for Winkle (bu rece the issue that way. Followup on this is neeced quickly Burr). Regarding revalidation of EPA agreement with AEC cleanup criteria, Wachholz has a draft memo - Liverman to Costel. The committee briefly reviewed this draft. Conments are to be provided to dachholz.
