Station 7 - Site M, Southegst of Runit, Plireai, Bokonaerappu ~ NRL.
This was a wooden building 9 feet by 9 feet by 8 feet placed in the general

vicinity of the photo towers (Station 60),

Preliminary sketches were fur-

nished on January 31, 1950. Because site M was placed on the coral reef,
the site M Station was deleted as of March 14, 1950, and not reinstated
until June 14, 1950, When it was reinstated; a designwas sent to the field

showing the building supported on four concrete piers, the floor of the house
over 4 feet above high tide level, An exterior skin of 0.032 inch aluminum
sheeting was provided to seal the building against the elements.

and Er- NRL.

The Tenex

collimators were furnished by the User; however, these blocks (81 inches

by 60 inches by 55 inches) had to be supported in fixed orientation with

respect to zero,

The support brackets for the collimators were made of

built up H - beams, webs and flanges being 1 inch by 10 inch plate,

fabrication of these was cempleted on June 6,. 1950.

On dune 2, 1950,

The

locations of U-boltes that held the collimators and the adjustment screws
that centered the unit were changed by the User, Final criteria for the

bases was received on October 8, 1950, at which time J-Division informed

H&N that it was permissible for’ Station 8 to roll, whereas Station 9 had
to remain in place,
In order to prevent Station 9 from moving, 13 cubic

yards of concrete were required at Engebi and 34 cubic yards at The Aomon
Group and E+, The whole assembly was surrounded and covered by prefabricated limonite blocks, The stations were relocated on November 16, 1950,
by the AEC Resident Engineer,

Stations 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15 - Engebi, The Aomon Group, Runit,
and E+- LASL. These structures were also collimating blocks, They were
supported in the same manner as those at Stations 8 and 9, Allowable
tolerances for bases were 15 seconds of arc from a line through zero and
= 6 inches of distance from zero, The volume of these foundations varied
from 13 cubic yards to 48 cubic yards, depending upon distance from zero.

Station 16 was
+
only the cable and samplers attached to the cable that was

extended from a winch, Station 17, No design was necessary, but the location of the cable line had to be fixed in order to avoid interference
with and shielding of samplers.

Station 18 - Engebi, The Acguon Group, Runit, and E+~- LASL. In order
to wash the cable and samplers of Station 16, it was necessary to provide
a salt water pump station with an adjacent well,

To protect the pump,

which was rated at 200 gpm, at 50 psi, it was neceasary to build a blastproof concrete building 4 feet by 6 feet by 6b feet. The protection was
necessary because the pump was needed for a few hours after test times

and it would not have been feasible to haul a pump to the site and set
it up. The hose provided a coverage of 200 feet ahead of Station 17.
