Decontamination of YVONNE is seen as an iterative process, namely,
removal of soil, monitoring of radioactivity levels, and removal
of more soil.

Recovery of the pieces of plutontum’tthat have been observed
on or near the island surface.

Some contain milligram

quantities of plutonium metal and are easily detected with
field survey instruments such as the FIDLER.

Recovery of plutonium contaminated soil.

To a first

approximation, the location of the zones of higher Pu concentrations are shown in the survey profilésamples.
