these samples form the basis for evaluating the terrestrial
food chain.
We would prefer that the entire potential data base were
available, but as a result of the time constraints we are basing the
assessment on the 100-m grid data.
We are currently evaluating the data
on ‘the distribution and ranges of the soil radionuclide concentration for
each of the islands to determine whether analysis of the other samples
will be necessary.
.
In addition, only external gamma data are available for the
islands in the northwest quadrant of the atoll,

Kiruna (Clara), Louj (Daisy), Bokinwotme (Edna}, and
“Boken (Irene) and Runit (Yvonne) Island on the eastern side of the atoll
(Fig. 1).
Soil samples are now being analyzed for. these islands, but
evaluating the data and subsequent assessments will be done later.
However,
these islands are not included as residence or agriculture
islands in any of the resettlement options described in the
rehabilitation plans.
