RADIOLOGICAL CLEANUP OF ENEWETAK ATOLL

‘The cleanup guidelines for transuranic contaminated soil remoya)

will continue to change and be amplified during the courseofthe
operation.”
“The general scope of work as defined by the Enewetak Radiologicat
Study and the Engineering Study for a Cleanup of Enewetak has been
changed andwill continue to be adjusted to meet changing cleanup

guidelines and circumstances.”’
‘This Operation will be constrained by the uncertainty of the scopeof
work. Should the scope of work increase as a result of conducting

operations, it may impede accomplishmentof the mission.’’330

Dueto this uncertainty in the scope of work, the OPLAN developers,like
the CONPLANdevelopers, did not include in the text any scheduled dates

for milestones other than D-Day.

The new OPLAN operations schedules had to be hastily prepared and
coordinated, with the result that minor errors in scheduling appeared in

the timetable for mission accomplishment.33! After the OPLAN was

published, the schedules were refined and two new schedule formats were

adopted, one for general briefing and the other for detailed planning and

briefing. The general cleanup project schedule as of 1S March 1977 is shown
in Figure 2-10. On some schedules; e.g., Figure 2-10, the mobilization
phase is shownas extending from 15 March to 1§ November1977, a period
