Dear Fritz:
The following is in response to your request for comments on
the first periodic report of the analysis phase of the Eniwetok
Radiological Survey:
1.
In reporting on the analysis phase of the ERS, it is
probably worthwhile noting that the analyses produce
data on the concentration of the following nuclides
as the principal species observed:
Ge, Ms, 3 125 gp,
13 las, 19°Ry, 204 238 259m 241an.
2.
The description of sample preparation is acceptable for
soils, but there are some other procedures involved for
other types of samples,
For example,
in working with
fish and animals, dissections are performed, organs are
pooled before analysis, etc,
All of the animal and fish
tissue is ashed before chemical analyses, etc,
Each
sample type receives appropriate treatment,
You may not wish to include this much detail in this
particular report, but if you do I suggest that you get
accurate,
complete information for each type of sample
from Dr. Hoff at LLL,
53.
Your bargraph method of presentation is excellent, but
T suggest that the analyses be grouped according to the
Rerosirony COE Host Division
