The field studies should provide a training area for
biologists where concepts of radiological contamination
of biotic material can be formulated.

Scope of the Field Program

To accomplish the objectives of the radiological contamination studies at Bikini-Eniwetok, the following three-phase
program is suggested:
Pretest at Eniwetok
The main purpose of the field program would be the collec-

tion of data and material; processing of material, counting of
the activity, and evaluation of the data will be completed in
laboratories on the mainland.
For an evaluation of the present extent of radiation contamination resulting from previous weapons testing programs at
Eniwetok, a number of collections should be made shortly before
the new tests.
