LFE Environmental Analysis Laboratory (LFE) Samples delivered to LFE as of 6 April 1973 - 423 soils, 4 dried fish for F055 and samples). 2 395 analyses (plus ¥e on fish Have received preliminary data on Pu concentrations in 25 soil samples. The results are acceptable. We have suggested an approach for them to use in calculating upper limits. Eberline Instrument Company (EIC) ~Analyses began on 2 April 1973. ‘Two batches (102 samples) of soils have been shipped to EIC for “39m, and Wor analysis. Some preliminary results will be reported to LLL as soon as they are available. University of Washington, Seattle (UW) Analysis of a set of 12 selected fish samples for 2395, sr, nd ?°Fe is in progress at UW and MCL. Data will be compared to assure accurate calibration of tracers, ete. We expect some data to be reported by each lab before the next progress report. A progress report will be issued every two weeks.
