On Sundsy, 7 June, I monitored tha scrap metal collectad by the

natives and stored in the bunker on the scuth tip of Zueu (near
the large sheet meatal buildins). Inside the bunker where the scrap

was stored the radiation level was less than 1 pR/hr.

readings over tha scrap were also less than 1 pR/hr.

Lynch and I collected disturbed and undisturbed soil samples at

200 foot intervals along tha runway on Ensu (about 209 feet off to

the south side). Twentyetwo samples bagged separately were obtained.
Held and Cluff sampled the Zneu canp area.
Lynch and I attempted to locate that part of Enau showing higher
radiation levals. ‘The camp area measured 3 to 4 pR/hr. The area
of the island west and north of the camp and particularly the NW

end of the island has been heavily bladed and the soil is quite
disturbed. The surface is sandy like the beach area, There were
only traces of rows or strips of vegetation, th2 area having been
almost comoletely cleared. Ons small avea under soma pandanus trees
showed 18 to 20 uR/hr and tha soil appeared undisturbed. Zagle took
several cookie cutter soil samples hare but it was decided that a

soil pit collection would not be wotth the effort.

On Monday, checked a barrel of scrap near the coconut nursery.

Tuesday, checked a barrel of scrap on the lagoon shore near the power
plant. This measured 2 to 3 uR/hr, tha same as the camp area. The
scrap consisted of copper wire, pipe fittings, and a large three

bladed propeller.

Wednesday and Thursday were spent photographing Eneu. On Friday,
June 12, Moore, Thrall, Kirk and I want back to Bikini in the Boston

Whaler to pick up the last of the air filter samples. Tha air saxplers
thenselves could not be brought back due to problems with the M boats
Saturday was cpent working on reports and packing. In early aftcre
noon Sunday, an aircraft sent from Kvajalein by Global Associates
cama to Enéu to-pick up tha team and equipment. The TT ship was not
available to pick tha team up when work was completed. The trip that

had taken about 28 houre on the Hafa Adai was made in one hour and
thixty minutes in the aircraft. Tha air samplers were to be shipp2d
