necessitated a daily exchange of dosage information, primarily from Bikini
to Eniwetok, in order to maintain the master flle. This information was ex-
changed via the radio-teletype circuits.
All film processing at Eniwetok Atoll was carried out at the Rad-Safe
Building on Parry Island. At Bikini, dual processing equipment was maintained as the possibility of afloat operations, similar to Operation Castle,
was always present.
A photodosimetry processing trailer, obtained from the
Army's Evans Signal Laboratory, was maintained aboard the USNS Ainsworth
at all times. Fortunately, no real need arose for its use. Although the
photodosimetry facility in the Rad-Safe Bu{iding on Envu was always available,
the building suffered damage during the| Zuni and Navajo
tensive repair to the darkroom was required.
