while, prior to completion of the drawing, materials and equipment re~ quired by these facilities were requititioned for stockpiling purposes, As designed, the fire protection system consisted of four 2-inch standpipes, each provided with a 1-1/2 wharf hydrant, 100 feet of fire hose, a 1-1/2-inch fog nozzle, and a 20-foot Duralumin clay pipe equipped with a l-inch fog-head, A booster water pump was provided which had sufficient capacity for operation of two fog nozzles simul- taneously at recommended pressure (75 to 100 psig) and for operation of all four nozzles at minimum pressure. This pump took its suction from the island salt water mains and was a self-priming, manuallycontrolled, centrifugal pump. The 20-foot clay pipes were to permit extinguishing a fire anywhere in the diked area without exposing personnel to undue risk, Simultaneously with the development of the drawing covering the water fog fire protection system for Parry Island, a drawing was prepared for a similar system for the fuel storage area on Eniwetok Island, Prints of this drawing were released to the construction battalion immediately upon completion in March 1950, It has been recommended by H&N that, because of the limited use of fuels on the experiment islands and the short period of occupancy, both motor gasoline and diesel oil be transported to these locations in drums or tanks by boat from Parry Island. Nothing developed during the course of design to warrant a change in this reasoning, and the diesel fuel storage facilities as designed for each island consisted of a 3,000 gallon storage tank for the diesel power plant and a 1,200 gallon tank for the mess hall equipment, These tanks were estimated to have sufficient storage capacity for one week's operation. , Consideration was given to three proposed methods of transporting the required quantities of diesel fuel from Parry Island to the experiment islands, Each of the three methods required the use of an *"M" boat for the water travel portion of the trip. One of the proposed schemes would have required transporting approximately sixty 55-gallon drums of diesel oil to each experiment island every week, Because the attendant manpower required in filling, emptying, trucking, loading and unloading this mumber of drums vould ‘have been excessive, this scheme was abandoned. Another proposed scheme contemplated mounting a 5,000 gallon horizontal tank on the deck of an "M" boat, Thies tank would have been filled by tank truck at the cargo pier on Parry Island and emptied by means of. a gasoline powered pump set at the warious locations requiring diesel fuel. The "M" boat would have been docked at the cargo pier at each location, and the fuel transferred directly into the power plant and mess hall storage tanks by pumping from the tank on the boat through underground lines brought to the dock. This scheme had the disadvantage that it would have required an "M" boat to be deyoted. solely to trans- porting fuel. 5-278
