the fact that additional work burdens were imposed, to include post
test work on the Zero Islands and conversion of twelve family quarters.
CTG 7.2 responsibility included rendering all necessary assistance
to TG 7.1 in its roll-up activities.
This particular function is
broken down into three separate phases:
namely; clean-up after the
tests, salvaging and storing of usable equipment and outloading which
includes the preparation for embarkation.
In the clean-up a small forde from the original construction unit
would reenter the test area after the blast to perform the necessary
work of destroying, reloacating or preserving the structures and installations.
Radiological safety monitors accompanied these groups to in-
sure their safety from undue radioactive contamination.
Items of value on the Zero Islands proclaimed safe by the RadSafe representative were collected and shipped to Eniwetok where they
were placed in the AEC warehouses, except for the items salvaged after
the first and second tests that were moved and: installed on the subsequent test sites for further use.
Breaking camp and moving their
equipment to Eniwetok before the test days kept all available person-
nel occupied.
Once the units from the Zero islands arrived and were
settled on Eniwetok, they committed all available manpower to bolster
the labor pool engaged in roll-up activities.
The outloading at present progressed rapidly and smoothly as out-
lined in FO #2, JTF Seven. ‘No unanticipated bottlenecks were met and
the peak of the roll-up activities began on or about 17 May 19h8.
Details on the activities of the roll-up are incorporated in a
following chapter covering Eniwetok where most of the work took place.
