given that our model is correct, namely, that we have additive effects.
Any questions?
DR. KORANDA:
OR. MILLER:
How are you going to split those samples, Frosty?
Well, I'm not going to do it physically.
That's going to
be part of the laboratory procedure, and they've assured me that at each
step they can split them.
OR. KORANDA:
DR. MILLER:
Do they have a riffler to do that?
Well --
DR. KORANDA:
It's pretty hard to get representative subaliquots when
10 you have that many splits.

These are solutions, at this point.
Well,
solutions and solutions.
DR. MILLER:
it's not hard to split a solution.
There are

Right.
The aliquoting -- the initial aliquoting of the
15
eight samples, that will be done in a standard manner, is going to be done
16
for the ORERP samples, and that will provide us with an estimate of the
17
variability induced by that; and given that soil homogeneity, or the lack
18
thereof,
19
desirable to have an estimate of the variability that occurs when that hap-
20
pens and, in particular since we are drawing 200-gram aliquots, the vari-
21
ability that we estimate from here will be directly applicable to the
22
uncertainty in the plutonium analyses of our standard samples.
23
is a standard problem in these sorts of analyses,

Thank you.
