Dear General deSaussure:
During a recent trip to Bikini Atoll, personnel of this office
were requested by Col. Rawlings to furnish guidelines which would
aid in determining those requirements necessary for radiological
certification.
It was pointed out to Col. Rawlings that definition of such guidelines was a responsibility of AEC HQ, and that
these guidelines had been requested but at that time had not been
received.
In a recent discussion with HQ, Division of Operational Safety
personnel, we were informed that the guidelines are being formulated.
In the interim, those guidelines informally presented to
Col. Rawlings (see enclosure) will be in effect.
Very truly yours,
TMOS : FDC-231
