Specifically

included in this recommendation are the three locations’ on SALLY and

or before completion, an authority responsible for enforcement —

of the quarantine should be identified and should be in residence
in the Atoll when people return.

7. The distribution of plutonium contamination on YVONNE is suffictently
complex that specific recommendations for cleanup cannot be presented.
Ie is expectedthatthetrueplctare of this contamination will unfold
as the decontamination effort proceeds. The area observed. to have
pieces of plutonium and the highest soil concentrations is the
interior and shoreline of the island beginning ata line drawn

from the ocean reef to lagoon 60 meters north of the tower (Hardtack
Station 1310) to CACTUS Crater.

See Fig. 152, pageLI~17, Appendix II.
