The detectors’ signals were transmitted through cables to Station 250 farther south on the island. Additional detectors were placed near Station 250, and these transmitted their signals to recorders in Station 250 (IPO 132#2, p. B-2). The high-priority schedule for KING recovery called for a group of three men to helicopter to Runit for recovery of Project 2.1b data (see Mission 3, Table 4.6), but no record is available of when they landed on Runit or how long they stayed. Radiation Exposure Potential: A survey taken from a helicopter flying over Runit about 50 minutes after the KING shot indicated SYK ele hein Veg, Staffing: little contamination, with maximum ground readings estimated at 3.8 R/hr (see Table 4.5 and Appendix C). 4-26
