PRIVACY ACT MATERIAL REMOVED made a survey of the Atoll to estimate damazce and LCDR At 1015, —~ and to obtain early radiological readings on the islands. They landed on the USS BAIROKO at 1227 to report wide spread fall-out of surprising intensities. a. The following readings submitted by wee et 1245 hours: Van = 20 R above mat. SO R on ground, North end of Nan about as hot as lower end, Tents and buildings on Nan appear OK. Tare = Tent area almost all down, Buildings appear OK but light damage to roofa. Tents in restricted area (except 3 are up) but one ia burning. Cab = Sheets off roof. Pipeline appears OK, Airstrip = 10 to 12 slabs of sheet metal - hanger still standing. Fox = Tent camp flat. stations OK, Brush burning rear be Food shack on statign OK, ** 4 station, The following additional readings submitted by at 1245 hourae: Tare = Power at airstrip appears OK, George - Station 1342 ~ 50 R at 100 feet, Fox reef ocsanside 3 R at 100 feet. Dog to Charlie reef 180 MR at 200 feet. Rafts end buoys oke 1 akiff of Project 1.6 seen. Able + Water green and cloudy. Charlie — Station 1200 = lots of debris but entrance appears clear = 110 R at 200 feat. Dog ~ 5 R at 400 feet off Dog on lagoon side. Fox ~ Water tower standing, All tents down, , Ran ~ Anchorage at 100 feet = SD MR, Nan camp OK. At Station 70 «~ 2500 LR at 200 feet. Around T boats = 3 to 100 MR, One pasa over copter mat 10 RF at 25 fest, A remarkable degree of activity hed ensued during this period when the ships of the fleet discovered that a considerable amount of fall-out had ocourred on the vessels themselves, unfortunately missing the drone vessels which were equipped to handle this radiosctive material. . in Lay2! _ o—=2e swe 77 we
