Chairman Ray -2- The lifestyle of the Enewetak people will be described in detail in the radiological survey report. Calculations of exposure to post-cleanup residual radioactivity, if any, will be based on this lifestyle. Further, the preparation of the lifestyle description has served to involve the Enewetakese in matters affecting their return to their homeland. They have been most cooperative and eager to assist not only the AEC work but longrange planning by the DOD and DOI. —,., The Director, Division of Biomedical and Environmental Research, ; has organized a Radiological Assessment Review Group which is composed of individuals not directly involved in the survey and which will oversee and guide evaluations of the survey. The | members of this group are: Dr. N. F. Barr, Division of Biomedical | and Environmental Research, Chairman; Mr. T. F. McCraw, Division of: Operational Safety; Dr. B. Shleien, Public Health Service; Dr. C. L. Weaver, Environmental Protection Agency; Dr. R. B. Leachman, Department of Defense; Dr. P. F. Gustafson, Argonne National Laboratory; Dr. C. R. Richmond, Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory; and Dr. A. H. Seymour, University of Washington. This group has been reviewing the adequacy and sufficiency of the survey data and their work is now nearly complete. It is expected that recommendations of this group will be generally favorable as to the completeness of the survey report. The Director, Division of Operational Safety, has formed a Task Group to prepare the recommended judgements and recommendations for Commission approval. This Task Group has been working with the NV and LLL staffs closest to the survey as well as knowledgeable AEC staff (DMA, DBER, DWMT, DRS), interagency staff (DOD, DOI, EPA), and advisors (TTPI, BNL). These recommendations and judgements, ' to be forwarded for the Commission's consideration by December 1, 1973, ‘will be limited to radiological considerations and will include: a. b. Recommendations on whether the radiation environment of the atoll is acceptable for permanent habitation; Actions which provide for radiation dose reductions through alterations of the environment; ° IO0Z5b4 Department of Energy Historian’s Office ARCHIVES
