The way the steps are implemented will vary from site to site, but to achieve maximal scientific rigor and some consistency across sites the committee makes the following recommendations: 1. In dose reconstruction studies, thorough consideration should 87

2. An advisory or steering committee should be established at the outset of a dose reconstruction study.

These should be followed, if appropriate, by more comprehensive studies. The scoping study of the source term should seek to generate the data needed to identify the environmental pathways of potential importance and to permit estimation of the concentrations of radionuclides to which the public might have been exposed.

18. All exposures from external sources, inhaled radionuclides, and ingested radionuclides should be considered; when certain pathways or other factors suggest that a particular source term or radionuclide will not contribute substantial dose, reports should explain why these sources or specific radionuclides were not considered in the final estimations.

28. As the utility of biologic markers becomes established and accepted, the committee recommends that the CDC develop procedural strategies for conducting field studies for both specimen collection and laboratory analyses in the event of an acute release of activity.

33. A statistical power assessment based on a realistic set of assumptions about the dose distribution, population size, and radiation risk coefficients should be part of the scoping phase.
