PART IV, CHAPTER 2 2.8 ' The Contractor should standardize the _ ,Sizes and types of items required in order to limit the categories and sizes of items used at EPG. A study on this subject is scheduled for completion in early 1959. For example, requirements for various items of equipment must be analyzed to ascertain the possibility of using one or more standard sizes and types of equipment, multiples of which will satisfy the requirements for many facilities. Thus, specialized requirements which cannot be fulfilled from stocked items will be discouraged. 2.9 Fallout shelters should be provided at Sites Elmer, Fred, and Nan to eliminate the requirement for an MSTStransport standing by during operational periods (about four months), at a cost of $6,600 per day to maintain the capability for evacuation of all personnel from the EPG during operations. A feasibility study was initially authorized by OTO-ALO on 13 August 1958. A preliminary report was submitted by H&N on 21 August 1957 and a final report is now scheduled for the Spring of 1959, at which time DMA will be furnished all recommendations. 2.10 An AEC security force of sufficient size should be available in future operations to provide daily contact with all shot zero sites. 2.11 TG 7.1 test-briefing personnel should be informed regarding the levels of classified information to which Official Observers have access. 2.12 Extensive security construction, such as perimeter fences and lighting facilities, -should be accomplished BEFORE the start of the scientific construction phase of the Operation. 2.13 The planning for the number of Military Guards in future operations should be based on a greater contingency factor than that used for HARDTACK, Phase I. 2.14 A ter effort should be made for the exchangeof information between the AEC and the scientific and military elements of JTF- from Site Elmer to off-island locations should be discontinued. 2.16 Future communications requirements should be scrutinized to provide radios only for barges or other mobile facilities which cannot be afforded full-time telephone service, and consideration should be given to integrating mobile radio units into the dial telephone system, thereby eliminating the duplication of telephones and radios in administrative offices. 2.17. The three communication channels between Eniwetok Atoll and Honolulu should be increased to four channels to include two voice, one teletype, and one order wire. 2.18 A 300-foot tower should be erected adjacent to Building 488 on Site Elmer to provide a service range comparable to the excellent Bikini VHF system. 2.19 Marine channels should be cleared into all islands containing major scientific in- stallations. 2.20 . An additional 1000-man mess hall should be constructed on Site Elmer. _ 2.21 More realistic billet and personnel forecasts should be made by each elementof the Task Force at least four months in advance of actual need. 2.22 The responsibility for all camp operations on Site Fred should be assigned to the Contractor under the direction of TG 7.5 in order to reduce the total numberof personnel at EPG. . 2.23 A snack bar should be installed at Site Nan. | 2.24 The support of all off-atoll Weather and Rad-Safe Stations should be made the responsibility of the Contractor, particularly the power generation and distillation plant operations. 2.25 Personnel should be employed and ad- ministered by the organization under whoee supervision they work, or the Personnel required to fulfill User requirements should be Seven. This might be accomplished if the respective classification representatives are kept informed of developments and plans by the use of circulating files and by attendance at briefing furnished by the Contractor and supervised by him on the basis of a definitive scope of work. 2.15 cies and procedures followed by the various organizations of the Task Force. sessions.
