providing sample information on special profile samples for a REECo report, and assisting with providing information concerning quality control used during preparation operations. Requests for REECo analytical services included analysis of soil resamples for inventory and distribution from Area 5 for 239-240 Pu and 241 Am (by Ge Li), analysis of soil samples from an Area 5 original grid location for 239-240 Pu and 241 Am (by Ge Li), analysis of soil transect samples from nuclear sites selected as possible future NAEG intensive study areas, the analysis of soil test samples from Area 13 for 241 Am (by Ge Li), the analysis of vegetation samples from soil mound study No. 1 in Area 11-C for 241 Am, the analysis of surface swipe samples taken following the NAEG sample preparation dry run at the NAEG high level laboratory at NRDS for alpha, beta, and gamma activity, the analysis of soil surface samples from Area 5 for 241 Am (by Ge Li), generation of a report defining quality control procedures used in radiochemical analysis, and analysis of special soil samples from Area 5 for 241 Am (by Ge Li). Requests for data processing involved the generation of a computer printout for Area 5 Hamilton grid sample data, report of transect sample analysis results for Area 18 Danny Boy and Little Fellow II transect soil samples, generation of a sample analysis results report for Area 20 Palanquin soil transect data, generation of a computer printout of all NAEG soil profile data in the NAEG data base from the beginning of the NAEG Program, generation of a computer printout of Area 5 Small Boy data, generation of additional computer printout of Area 5 Hamilton data, generation of computer printout of Area 5 Hamilton data taken at random surface locations, generation of data report of soil mound study No. 2 soil preparation test, generation of a data report containing analysis results, weights, and parameters for vegetation samples from soil mound study No. 1 in Area 11-C, distribution of the soil mound study No. 2 field sheets, distribution of a genus and species report for soil mound study No. 2 TTR vegetation samples, generation of a data report for analytical data from Area 5 Hamilton surface samples, transfer of data tape containing all inventory and distribution analytical data from Area 5, distribution of a report on field data associated with a special NAEG soil profile study, genera- tion of computer printout of analytical data for an inventory and distribution study of Area 1, and generation of a quality control information report. At present, the NAEG system is “stretched out" with respect to sample and data flow through the system. The basic reason for this is that the rate of expan- sion of the NAEG Program is greater than the funding supplied to operate with. An area in which this is most noticeable is in the numbers and types of samples projected by investigators, many of which, if analyzed soon, would supply data which, in a year or so, could be used to fill in the gaps, so to speak, and complete the picture for the initial study sites for soil, vegetation, and small animal studies. Plans are currently in progress for beginning work in NAEG nuclear study sites. This new effort will undoubtedly create new coordination problems throughout the NAEG System. We in NAEG/REECo coordination are looking forward to the challenge. 301
