Areas with levels of radioactivity higher than 0.100 R/hr were outlined and marked by warning signs. Resurveys were made at frequent intervals to reestablish the 0.100-R/hr line. Entries beyond the 0.100-R/hr line required escort by a monitor. The Kwajalein Control Group, located at the airstrip, assisted the AEC New York Operations Office (AEC, NYKOPO) in the preliminary phases of establishing a radiation survey system throughout the Marshall Islands. This group procured drinking water samples from Ponape, Kusaie, Majuro, and Kwajalein before and after both shots and forwarded them to the Radiological Field Laboratory for analysis. Representatives of the Control Group at Kwajalein also supervised the monitoring of samples removed from aircraft of Project 1.3, snap-bag samples of Project 5.4b, and samples for Project 7.3. 2-14 In addition, they
