Abstract: From 1972 through 1980, the Department of Energy acted in an
advisory role to the Defense Nuclear Agency during planning for and
execution of the cleanup of Enewetak Atoll. The Nevada Operations
Office of the Department of Energy was responsible for the radiological
characterization of the atoll and for certification of radiological
condition of each island upon completion of the project. In-situ
measurements of gamma rays emitted by americium-241 were utilized along
with wet chemistry separation of plutonium from soil samples to
identify and delineate surface areas requiring removal of soil.
Military forces removed over 100,000 cubic yards of soil from the
surface of five islands and deposited this material in a crater
remaining from the nuclear testing period. Subsurface soil waB
excavated and removed from several locations where measurements
indicated the presence of radionuclides above predetermined criteria.
The methodologies of data acquisition, analysis and interpretation are

described and detailed results are provided in text, figures and
microfiche. The final radiological condition of each of 43 islets is
reported.;
