IV. Subsurface Plutonium. Based upon a study of the history of test
operations and upon soil profile data reported in NVO-140, a diligent
search was conducted to locate subsurface concentrations exceeding

400 pCi/gm. Those located have been excised and removed for
disposal in accordance with OPLAN 600-77.

OPLAN 600-77 defines surface soil concentration as follows: "The
apparent concentration on the surface, as viewed by in-situ detector.
In reality, this is a complex function of the distribution of Pu in the ~
top few cm of soil. Normally expressed in pCi/gm." .
