STATUS REPORT NO. 6
ENIWETOK RADIOLOGICAL SURVEY
JANUARY 13-19, 1973
This report summarizes activities and results of the radiological survey
in progress on Eniwetok Atoll for the period January 13-19, 19753.
Attached is a listing of the islands of the atoll which shows progress
Since Status Report No. 5.
This attachment lists the islands in order
clockwise, starting in the northwest quadrant, called Area 1.
Areas
2, 3, and 4 correspond with the northeast, southeast and southwest
quadrants, respectively.
The soil survey consists of two phases, soil sampling and soil
profiles.
The former are 30 on” core samplings taken to depths of
5 cm and 15 cm.
The profiles are taken to depths chosen according to
predicted, suspected or known radioisotope concentration vs. depth
relationships.
Generally, these will be 35 om deep, but several islands
will have 2-6 ft. trenches dug.
After the profile is taken, the trench
is tilled in.
The biota collection consists of gathering samples of vegatation, soil
and birds on the islands.
Marine biota were previously collected during
pre-Christmas survey activities.
