any one shot did not materially interfere with preparations for the next. In certain cases, crude decontamination measures were necessary in order to reduce the contamination level to a poimt where a normal day's labor could be performed without excessive dosage resulting. Generally, road-scraping and bulldozing operations were all that was necessary.

Survey results four hours after shot time are shown Because of contamination, the camps on Rojoa and Teiteiripucchi were permanently closed after this shot. The camp on the south end of Runit, however, was not significantly contaminated and it was re-occupied. Decontamination around the air dispatcher's office on Biijiri and along the roads within the Aomon-Rojoa complex was accomplished by using road scrapers and bulldozers. This materially reduced the dosage that personne] received in transit to working sites. In addition, the areas around the tower sites on Runit, Eberiru, and Aomon were decontaminated by scraping and filling, which permitted work to continue there in a normal manner without exposing personnel to radiation doses in excess of the maximum permissible exposures.
