DOD and AEC shared the cost of cleanup operations with each agency providing $300,000. AEC provided monitoring support during 1969 cleanup opera- tions including guidance for disposal of scrap material. The vegetation removal operations carried out to provide space for replanting coconut groves also provided access to all parts of Bikini and Eneu Islands so that external radiation levels could be mapped in detail (in 1964 and 1967, heavy vegetation placed a limitation on how much area could be surveyed). During cleanup operations a significant number of additional samples of foods, vegetation, soil and sediment, and well water were collected. Separate draft reports containing the external radiation measurements and results of analyses of radionuclide content of environmental samples have been received fram the Southwestern Radiological Health. Laboratory (SWRHL) and from the University of Washington. The SWRHL report contains results of analysis for plutonium-238 and plutoniwm-239 in soil at two locations on Eneman and the University of Washington report contains ell Y
