CHAPTER Vil, SECTION 2 One of the more difficult problems encountered during the final roll-up was that of maintaining a work crew consisting of men with sufficient experience who had not reached the permissible dosage of radiation exposure. The post-Nectar recovery program at Eniwetok Atoll for scientific equipment and other facilities was started on 17 May 1954; this work was completed by 20 May 1954. As the test period of OPERATION CASTLE cameto an end, a considerable amount of repair, over- hauling and preservation of equipment and the return of stores to warehouses had been com- pleted. The mothballing program of H&N equip- ment was started on 21 May. Thefinal removal of AEC property and thelast of the mothballing was completed approximately on 10 June. During the interval between operations, maintenance of Scientific Stations or facilities at both Atolls will be on a minimum basis. It is anticipated that transportation will be arranged through the Navy which will permit inspection trips to Bikini every four to six months at which time anti-corrosion measures will be accomplished to the extent possible. ’ by Figure 7-8.
