Experiment Island LivingCamps. It is considered desirable to provide temporary living quarters, which are either expendable or easily removable, either on an island adjacent to each shot island or on the shot island itself. The location on an adjacent island is preferable due to palm trees providing some shade, and less risk of radioactive contamination. However, on the basis of two uses of the facilities, it is difficult to justify a very great expenditure for causeways or other means of connection tetween the islands. Alterna- tives are discussed under Section IV, but for planning purposes it is assumed that economical solutions such as floating connections present operating difficulties sufficient to disqualify them. Neither Aomon or Biijiri offer an area suitable for the camp and the water distance between Biijiri and Rojoa is relatively short, considerably shorter than between Engebi and Muzin or Bogallua and Bogombogo. In this case, it is recommended that the living quarters, sub-communication center and other facilities be located on Rojoa Island. There is no other island within reasonable distance of Runit Island and Since this island is nearly two miles long, it is recommended that the living camp be located at the south end of Runit. Engebi Island is the largest island used for tests and there is adequate room for a camp. In addition, the length of a causeway to the adjacent Muzin Island makes the cost of such a connection unjustifiable for only two uses. A ferry or other floating connection is feasible, if operational conditions permit, but is not now recommended. The distance between Bogallua Island and the adjacent Bogombogo Island is so great that it appears that the camp should be located on Bogallua Island, even though this island is small and will be somewhat crowded, Proposed site plans will be found in Section IV.
