SECTIONVII
OPERATION BETWEEN EXPERIMENTS
OPERATIONS INVOLVED:
General.

The period referred to as Phase V of the construction program

will be defined as the roll-up.

It will begin with the conclusion of a test-

ing program, includes securing the area, ani extends through the period of

quiescense as necessary.

It covers such items as these:

Salvage
Storage

Demobilization
Maintenance
Protection of structures and utilities
Resident maintenance personnel
Security and radio safety
Issue completion report
Roll-up Preparation.

The operations immediately prior to the detonation

of a bomb is conceived in this Report to involve the salvage of a maximum
amount of valuable facilities which are subject to damage or destruction by

bomb effects, providing that such salvage can be practically accomplished
without interfering with installation and other work at the forward area, and
providing that the removal of any such salvage can be accomplished in a period up to twenty-four hours prior to bomb detonation.

Practicability of the

elements of this salvage are discussed in Section IV under various headings
in the analysis of probelms of design.
It is recommended that adequate storage facilities be provided on Parry
Island for the roll-up period, it being felt that any items remaining on
shot islands, if subjected to open storage amd idleness throughout this rollup period will suffer such deterioration that dependability for future use

would be in question.

Maximum mobility is being considered for mechanical

units involving a high capital outlay on the shot islands, and maximum proVII +1
