ASSESSMENT OF DOSES AND THE RESULTS OF ALTERNATIVE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
The Task Group approach for development of judgments and recommendations
for the radiological cleanup and rehabitation of Enewetak was to consider
a number of alternatives for exposure reduction that may be feasible.
Basically,
the procedure involved four steps:
e
Assessment of doses for a population living on the atoll in its
current radiological condition.
e
Assessment of dose reductions that might be expected due to modification of the diet.
@
Assessment of dose reductions that might be expected due to removal
of contaminated soil.
e
Comparison of these dose assessment matrices with the population dose
guidelines used by the Task Group.
The Enewetak Radiological Survey Report (NVO-140) contains estimates for

In addition, dose estimates are made
for each of these living patterns for each of the following corrective actions:
e
Gravel the village area and plow the village island.
e

KEITH) for inhabitants of the northem islands.
