The present most probable yields and limits are given, but limits are not
absolute. Experimenters must instrument to accept a rather wide range yieldwise
on the respective shots.

Probable times of LASL shots will be between 1 hour

ajueiembge and 1/2 hour before sunrise depending upon results of experiments to
be conducted in the forward area,
hour before sunrise,

The probable times of UCRL shots will be 1/2

Exact shot positions will be indicated on an instrumentation chart soon to

be distributed by J-6.

ch preliminary assembly, testing of experimental equipment, and
rehearsals will”be done on Eniwetok (Parry)
7. Port of entry for aircraft and most shipping will be on Eniwetoi, oS

8, Radio links with Los Alamos and Oahu will be maintained on

Eniwetok,

9. Temporary working camps will be létated on Hodéa (entwotéi Ato11),
and on Eninman, Namu, and Romuriitku (Bikini), Enyv and Bikini will have small

temporary camps to support project personnel necessary at those sites,

1¢. The camp site facilities on Eniwetok, Parry, and at Bikini will be

severely taxed due to population congestion at these principal lééations,

Ship-

board accommodations, especially aboard the CVE and AGC, will alsé be limited.
In view of these expected conditions, it is necessary that:
a. Only those personnel necessary to get the job done should
be in the forward area,
be. Personnel should leave the forward area as soon as their
jobs are completed,
require it,
