In a meating on December 3 and 4 in Las Vegas, participants in
the Bikini surveys from NV, SWRHL, University of Wasaington, aad

OS prepared the attached draft report.

This summary report

.

includes data obtained during cleanup operations in 1969 and

¥

data from the 1970 survey that concentrated on obtaiaing soil
and air samples,
The approach agreed upon is to prepare a summary report contain~

ine all of the new data (the attached report) plus two more

supporting reports, one by SWRITL and one by University of

Washington, containing the details of the surveys. These latter
reports are being prepared for AEC review and will ba circulated
for comment. When completed, all three reports will be transmitted to AEC Headquarters. Subsequently, the detailed reports
sre intended for publication in the SWRHL and NVO series of
docusents,

While some recomendations are made with regard to land use and there
is a comparison between levels of Pu-239 in Bikini afr and those

in U.S. air, the survey team menbers have not attempted to analyse
or evaluate the data as was done earlier by Dr. Gustafsen,.
