Dear Mr. Cluff:

Prior to your last visit to Bikini Atoll, you and Mr. William Moore of
SWRHL prepared a status report of the cleanup program. This was trans-
|
mitted to General de Saussure by letter of August 14, 1969.
That sum_ Mary indicated certain ‘things were still to be completed before the
,
radiological cleanup could be considered to be satisfactorily accomplished.

- The islands of Jig, King, Love and Mike were surveyed before I left.
All background readings were in the 5-10 uR/hr range and no evidence
of contaminated scrap was found.
oo
:
All radioactive debris from the Dog--George complex had been removed
and was ready for disposal at sea.
Removal of debris from Charlie was essentially complete and all radio-
- active scrap had been marked for disposal.

On all other islands, any work remaining was not concerned with the
radiological cleanup, but was nore in the nature of beautification
efforts.

I have been assured by Joe Merrill that the disposal of debris from
Dog-George and Charlie has been accomplished. I am satisfied at this
time that the radiological cleanup is complete and JTF-8 may be so
notified. Any further efforts on Bikini are a matter of negotiation
* between JTF-8 and the Trust Territory and do not affect the status ‘of
the radiological safety effort.
