RETURN OF ADDITIONAL PEUPLE TO IJVE XN THE HOUSES ON i 23IKXNI ISLAND CANNOT BE DRAWN FROM OUR RECOMMENDATIONS PRESENTED AT.THE AUGUST A4EETTNC3 OR FROM ANY DXSCUSSIONS HELD WITh THOSE ATTENDING. TO THE CONTRARY, OUR RECOMMEXDATXONS STATE THAT EXISTING i_ HOUSES ALONG THE LAGOON ROAD MAY BE OCCUPIED WITHIN PRESCRIBED GUIDELIN-ES. THE ONLY DISCUSSION OF A Sa(-MONTH PERIOD IS RELATED TO OUR ESTIMATE OF TWIE NEEDED To ANALYZE 64MPLES COLLECTED IN JUNE Ah13, EVALUATE INTERNAL EXPOSURES THROUGH THE FOOD CHAIN Ahi PROVIDE ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE ON UX%LLY GROWN FOODS FOR U&E BY THOSE LIVING ON BIKINI iSLAND. TXSS ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE WILL NOT HAVE RELEVANCE TO LIVING IN THE HOUSES BUT RELATES TO OUR CONCERN FOR RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS EXPECTED IN CERTAIN FOODS GROYFN ON BIKINI ISLAND. PARA.

, WITH REBPDCT TO INTERNAL RADIATION DO6E, WE CAUTIONED THAT RESTRICTION8 WOULD BE NEEDED ON TO XbISVRE THAT THE SUM OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL RADXATION DOSES WOULD NOT EXCEED THE GTANDARDS. TMS IS SHOWN IN OUR DRAFT REPORT. WHILE HOUGEZS ON ENN ARE PREFERABLE, EXISTING HOUSES ON BL?UNl ARE NOT, REPEAT NOT, UNACCEPTABLE. IT I+lLL BE SAFE TO LIVE IN HOUSES ALREADY BUILT ON BIKINI ISLAND PROVIDED THE RADIATION DOSE REDUCTION MEASURES U-E HAVE RECON;h/lENDED ARE FOLLOXED. WE AGREE TI-IXRE HAS BEEN A’4ISINTERPRETATION OF THE MATERIAL AND DISCUSSIONS OF THE AUGUST 12 MEETXNG. WE AGREE THAT NO USEFUL PURPOSE IS SERVED BY FURTHER DELAY OF PEX>PLE GOING BACK TO WE W THE HOUSES ON BIKXNI ISLAND.
