Good quality unfiltered seawater for this system was. pumped from a former quarry in the reef. Access to the lagoon for boats and personnel was pro-’ vided by a conveniently located concrete ramp and a wooden pier. Laboratory boats were moored offshore or launched and retrieved from trailers at the ramp. Fresh water was provided by catchment of rain from the roofs of several buildings and stored in four 10.000-gal cisterns. Diesel and gasoline fuels were stored in tanks on the lagoon side of the laboratory complex. These fuels, along with other supplies, were delivered to the laboratory approximately every 2 months by the DOE research vessel Liktonur, which was based at Kwajalein and supported DOE's environmental research. radiation protection. and medica! progrrams in the northern Marshal!
