The AEC Task Group recommended that "all radioactive scrap

metal and contaminated debris now or later identified" should be removed
from Enewetak Atoll as part of Cleanup.

Holmes & Narver, Inc, made the

initial identification (H&N-1348) based on radiation measurements made
during a brief two-week period of the Engineering Survey (12 Oct-21 Dec _
72) by monitorings from the EPA working under the direction of the AEC.
The Cleanup EIS estimates that materials identified as contaminated in
H&N- 1348 occupy a total volume of 7,262 cubic yards.

The two-week contaminated debris survey was limited to the

detection of gamma contamination (alpha and beta contamination were not

or heavy, close-in fallout.

Additionally, only structures and scrap-

which were on the surface, visible and accessible were inspected, and no
