&.-_Disposal of serap eonteaining no induced radicactivity such as
towers end other metertais on Bikini end Eneu sn siniiar
materials on other islends requires mo special consideration
fron a radiological viewpoint and is therefore not covered
by these guidelines.

Sispositics of undamaged ar damaged Dunkere mist take into
account their radiglegical status and possible utility.
in this regard it is expected that bunker contamination
leveie will be reduced more rapidly then levels in the soli
£ the aear test islands. There is the additional need ta

obtain laput from the Trust Territery representative that
reflects desires of the natives in order to determine whet

use might be made of these etructwres. These bunkers vould
not appear to fall in the seme category s6 other more reedily
removable contaminated scrap material since their potential
usefuliness ia undoudtedly much areater. Ag for the damaged

bunkers on Hom and the sawi island west of Bravo Crater, it is

suggested that their physiesl rether than radiological condition
ie the mare important consideration ané a 4ecisiaon on their
disposition evhould tbe esde in the Meld agnin considering the
ceaires of the returning aatives.

Ay epectal problese that might be discovered such as plutonium

enviromental radioactivity (particulerly iteus of the Bikint
diet) significantly different fram ao in sédition to thet
known to the A& Hoc Committee and contained ic HASL 196 and
Dr. Gustafson's reports could require additional guidance

“and showlé be reported.

Finally, it is known that the distribution of scrap found on these

urer test islands extends into the shealiov weter shore ereas and on
into the deeper parts of the legcon rné oceun. It is suggested. thet

lotaticn and removal of this underwater metal scrap is senerally not

feasible and that any proriem with euch eseterial is test han’lec by

followup surveys as suggested in item S$ of Attachment 6.

It is not

istenced that item 5 will apply to the cleenup phase of recovery
