RADIATION PROTECTION STANDARDS RELEVANT 10 ENIWETOK GUIDANCE
Within the United States essentially all radiation protection
activity is based on issuances of the
Federal Radiation Council (FRC)
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP)
‘International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP)
Standards adopted and published by these bodies are in regular,
day-to-day use; they provide the bases for judgements and recommendations pertaining to radiation protection at Eniwetok Atoll in the
years ahead as it relates to cleanup, rehabilitation and reoccupation
of the islands by the Eniwetok Atoll People.
The material which

RADIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR REOCCUPATION OF ENIWETOK ATOLL
4oKY
Fre
ee, NCRP and M@RP recommendations must be applied to Eniwetok
in manner different from that used for a proposed nuclear facility
or at a laboratory where radioisotopes or ionizing radiation generating
machines are to be used.
At Eniwetok radioactive contamination is
distributed in the environment and the owners of the atoll are absent
at a radiologically safe location.
The problem is finding the
procedure, assuming one exists, through which all or part of the
atoll can be made safe as the permanent home for the Eniwetok
