CLEAN-UP ASSESSMENT PLAN

”
aie
fh Naw

During the field survey of the Islands in the Eniwetok Atoll, an attempt
will be made to evaluate possible clean-up mechanisms and provide data for
future engineering estimates of the decontamination operation.

This decontam-

ination assessment is, anticipated to take the following form:
1.

An estimate of the quantity of activated materials and debris from

previous tests will be made,

Special attention will be made to record, in a

preliminary sense, location, amount, and radiation levels of the debris that
should be removed before reoccupation.
2.

N

An attempt will be made to evaluate the feasibility of collecting

single particles or "hot spots" by simple excavation techniques or sieving.
Various sized screens will be taken to evaluate the feasibility of separating

contaminated debris rather than removal of all contaminated soil and/or coral,
The character of the contamination in various areas will be evaluated in terms

of the feasibility of removing localized hot spots in preference to whole-scale
excavation.

An attempt will also be made to locate localized hot areas which

will require total excavation.
3.

<A literature search is presently underway and will be continued to

evaluate the applicability of modifying existing techniques, other than whole-
