During a discussion cf environmental conditions at Hatties-

burg, Mr. Hendricks stated that he felt there shoulda be someé
relief from the stringent clean-up criteria issued recently

by Hq.

The swamp area near the experiment hole arid the area

used for overfiow of radioactive materials from downnole is
contaminated, for the most part, with antimony-125 as tie
principal beta emitter.

At the time the criteria were estadlisned

this information was not available.

However, since it is not _

available it is planned to request a change.in the clean-up
criteria, possibly by a factor of 10.
