RADIOLOGICAL SURVEY PLAN FOR THE NORTHERN MARSHALL ISLANDS The Division of Operational and Environmental Safety (O£S) is responsible for coordination with the Department of Interior and all Washington level Federal agencies and officials and to provide the technical program guidance to the Nevada Operations Office. Bae The Nevada Operations Office is responsible for administering the technical program and to assure the successful accomplishment of the objectives of the program plan. The technical direction of the sampling program will be carried out by the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL) supported by personnel from the following organizations, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), University of Washington, and Brookhaven National Laboratory. The technical efforts of the partici- pating organizations will be carried out as a cooperative effort utilizing the skills and resources of its individual members under the direction of LLL. Members of these organizations will collect the necessary samples and perform the necessary measurements. Samples will be collected from atoll soil, water, plant life and food, adjacent marine waters, and marine and terrestrial life. All samples will be analyzed for 13766 | 906, and the transuranics by wet chemical methods. be undertaken by The analysis of the samples will ,» and The evaluation of the analytical data will be performed by the members of the participating organizations with the technical coordination of the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. ne ayn hteo! The ground radiological surveys of certain atolls will be performed under the technical direction of the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. The aerial radiological surveys of the atolls will be performed by EG&. The estimated time required for completion of the aerial operations is 21 days. This period of time includes the time to move operations between atolls as well as to perform the surveys of each atoll but does not include the travel time to and from the Northern Marshall Islands.
