The sample locations selected by the random selection technique are
shown on photographs of each island in the data section of the Appendix.
Objective Selection.
The objective technique was utilized where the
random selection process and its necessary assumptions were not applicable.
The aerial survey and terrestrial radiation survey identified hot spots on
--veral islands.
GZ areas, assumed to have elevated concentrations of
radionuclides, and suspected or known burial sites had been indicated by
historical research. All of these 2scations were sampled using objective
selection techniques to evaluate the specific situation.
Only enough
samples were collected to identify the radionuclides present and verify
the existence of the area in question.
When justified, a crude attempt was
made to determine the extent of such elevated areas.
The following specific
areas were sampled objectively:
