ERDA's SUGGESTED RESPONSE AND/OR COMMENTS (Continued)
in the general population -- which we expect to be the case
on Bikini (see Paragraph 80) -- no Individual radiological
medical survelllance is necessary and no medical, clinical,
or laboratory procedures are required in connection with
such exposure.
Thus, if clinical or laboratory procedures
are provided for the Bikinians, this would constitute taking
measures that have not been considered necessary anywhere
else in the world.
102
Deny.
The personnel monitoring procedures carried for the people
living at Bikini are not considered "far too limited.''
On
the contrary these examinations are considered to have been
quite adequate to assess the radiological status of the
people.
The examinations outlined for roentgenograms probably will
expose the individuals to larger doses of radiation than
“.
they would receive by living on Bikini Island for a
substantial period of time.
In vivo measurements for
plutonium at levels lower than maximum permissible body
burdens are not practical at this time and still
experimental stage.
