These unit dose estimates could then be weighted depending
on projected utilization by the inhabitants.
This approach
might be particularly well suited to estimating dose from
the ingestion pathway.

IMP Calibration
The Advisory Group's questions on the calibration of IMP were
not adequately answered at the meeting.
Dr. Gilbert agreed to contact
EG&G and Eberline and appropriate Nevada Operations staff for further
information.
E.
Onshore-Offshore Sampling
The presence of Pu/Am in marine areas has been Sugqested.
The Advisory Group would like an opportunity to review these data.
F,
Apparent Sampling Inadequacies
The Advisory Group is concerned about certain apparent sampling
or/and analytical inadequacies.
coconuts, seafood, air, and water
These inctude subsurface soils,

It is recognized that some of these data may be sufficient
for dose assessment purposes and that it only appears to be inadequate
because the Advisory Group is not aware of it.
Certification
The Advisory Group sensed that the issue of certification was causing
problems to both DNA and DOE.
It is recommended that questions regarding
certification be identified and resolved soon to avoid misunderstanding
and problems occurring at the completion of the cleanup.
An area of
potential problem is the lack of definition of terms in the certification.
Such terms as “diligent effort," "all radioactive debris," "unlikely that
