attempt was made to search for structures not shown on as-built drawings.

Thus, although H&N-1348 lists about 400 items of debris for the

ten islands, the AEC (in report NVO-140) reports radiation measurements
for only half of them (about 190 items).
3.

The AEC did not establish any criteria for designating

debris as contaminated.

NVO-140 merely reports a single gamma exposure

rate (presumably the highest) for the general area of an item of debris.

Thus, for example, a “scattered junkpile" on Alice is given a value of
120mR/h and without any indication of the quantity of junk which has
that exposure rate or whether any of the junk should be labeled as
contaminated or noncontaminated.

Cleanup will make the differentiation

by comparison against specific criteria.
