*One cell equals 929 m,
**kThis estimate is one curie less than reported by Gilbert

stored library samples collected in stratum 6.
rs

(1977).

This results from the analysis of a new 10g aliquot from three

These new Pu values were also used in obtaining the kriging results.

Obtained using standard stratified random sampling theory.
Note that the relatively low value of 1.3 in Part B versus 7.2 in Part A
does not necessarily imply the estimate of inventory in Part B is closer to the true inventory than that in Part A.
The deletion

of the three high Pu concentrations have simply reduced the estimated standard deviation in stratum 6 from 2,043 to 300 uCi/m?.
