Soil samples were available from the May 1972 survey for the islands of
ALICE, BELLE, CLARA, DAISY, and EDNA.
These samples were very limited, and,
unfortunately, were composited during collection.
They did indicate the

in exposure rates.
This was also seen
Plutonium-239 values on these islands (May 1972) were
relatively high for the Atoll, ranging from about 17 pci/g on EDNA to a maximum of 129 pci/g on ESLLE.
A crude mean of 50 pci/g was assumed for planning
purposes for this chain of islands (ALICE through EDNA), but, because of the
compositing process, could actually be much higher.
This mean value was applied to all Phase II islands.
Because of those
islands which were not visited prior to the precleanup survey and their geo-
graphical locations, those "unknown" islands received an increased allocation
of samples.
These two Phase II groups consisted of the following:
