The 13 Atoll
$148,000...
Survey is desiqned to provide a
comprehensive radiological survey of atolls in the vicinity of the former Pacific Test Site for whicn only
partial or no radiological information is now available. An intensive aerial.monitoring program will be
From this information the
supplenented by the collection and the analyses of terrestrial and marine samples.
relationship between background radiation and the kinds and quantities of radionuclides in the terrestrial and
marine environments will be established.
The objectives of tne project described here is the collection and
radiological analyses of samples from the marine environment.
In preparation of this 189, it was assumed that the 13 Atoil Survey will commence late in the suniner of
1978 and one-half of the field program will be completed by 30 September.
|
For our laboratory, this will require’
the effort of two people for two months in preparation for and execution of the first half of the field progran.|i
In FY 79, the field program will be completed and radiological analyses of the samples will begin.
In FY 89,
|
the sample analyses will be completed and the final report prepared.
;
The schedule for the collection and analyses of samples follows. About 100 samples will be collected from |
each of 13 atolls. The samples will include various species of fish (goatfish, surgeon fish, mullet, parrot fic |
tuna, etc.) and of invertebrates (claws, spiny lobsters, crabs, snails, etc.) plus algae and sediments. For the:
Tish and invertebrates, one to three tissues will be sampled. The number of samples prepared for analyses wil] |
be about 100 per atoll of which about 65 will be fish, 25 invertebrates, 5 algae, and 5 sediments.
All samples |!
wiil be analyzed by gamma spectrometry, about 30 per cent for plutonium and 2 per cent for iron-55, For the 13 I
atolls, the total number of analyses in the two-year program will be about 1300, 390, and 26, respectively.
