Operation Description
Utilizing data gathered from the shotographic survey (Phash I),
an Aerial Radiological Survey of eleven (11) atolls and two (2) islan
will be conducted by means of SH-3G helicopters equipped with DOE-provided
radiation detection and recording instrumentation. The helicopters will
normally operate from USNS WHEELING (TAGM~8), the base support ship which
will, in addition, provide a wide range of logistics support.
Flying
relatively precise tracks at specified altitudes and air speeds, the d
collected will be reduced and result in the radiological documentation
and characterization of the eleven (11) atolls and two (2) islands in
fhe
Northern Marshalls, for later use as deemed appropriate by DOE and DOI
in on-going rehabilitation and resettlement programs. Additionally, tke
helicopters will be utilized to transport project personnel and equipment
(e.g., Backhoe, etc.)
to selected atolls to perform the ground portion
(collect soil samples, etc.) of the survey.
Operations of USNS WHEELING (TAGY%8) will generally be in
accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement between COMPACMISTESTCEN/C
dated 13 September 1977/20 October 1977 and the Memorandum of Agreemen
between DOI, DOE and DON dated
.
Should there be a conflict
a result of conducting operations in accordance with these two source
documents, the provisions of the former will apply while clarification
and resolution is sought by the Project Manager.
