3. Disposal in deeper porticns of the lagoon. It is expected that this would be a modest addition to similar material already there from past test operations. For contaminated soil, other than plutonium, the Task Group has not recommended removal of such soil and therefore there would be no requirement to select a method of disposal. If such disposal were required, the objective would be to assure that there would be no pathway for any exposure of the Enewetak people to this radicactivity and a minimal followup requirement to insure that this situation continues after disposal. The Task Group view is that because of its extreme long half life, disposal of plutonium in the form of contaiminated soil and scrap is a problem of greater magnitude than for fission products and induced activity . In its delibcraticzus, the Task Group has assumed that the disposition of such material will be such that there is no potential for exposure of the residents of the atoll ence cleanup has been completed. This is then Recomumendations which follow the cbjective for cleanus. will treat the questions of how to approach recovery of the higher levels of plutonium contaminated soil and the pieces of plutonium metal, and Appendix III of this report contains guidance on decisions to be made on whether removal of plutonium contaminated soii is justified on various islands. It is the view of the Task Group that as a mininun, cleanup must accomplish the recovery of the plutonium contaminated materials, soil and scrap, from the various islands including buried scrap, with placement in stockpiles as few in nunber as possible. The obiect is to get better control of the materials and to minimize spread of contamination, Cio
