RADIOLOGICAL CLEANUP OF ENEWETAK ATOLL
COMPLETION OF DEBRIS CLEANUP
Debris surveys of all islands continued through March 1980 using
helicopter overflights. Debris located during these surveys was monitoreq
and disposed of accordingly. The Engineering Study in 1973 estimatedtha
there were approximately 133,000 cubic yards of contaminated ang
noncontaminated debris to be removed.!!8 By the time cleanup was
completed, 253,650 cubic yards of debris had been removed, including
5,883 cubic yards of contaminated debris, 55,000 cubic yards of scrap
removed by a salvage contractor, and 77,153 cubic yards of concrete
rubble placed as shore protection. A recapitulation of debris removal
operations is at Figure 5-34. All Master Index item requirements were
accomplished in accordance with disposition instructions.
Runit debris and soil cleanup is described in Chapter 8. Cleanup of
Lojwa and Enewetak Islands—the sites of the two major camps—is
described in Chapter 9 (Demobilization).
