2.2.3—The _trie_lievice, fired on Runit {n the vicinity of the airstrip,
produced heavy contamination only on the shot island. Survey results at H+4
hr are shown in Fig. 2.3. Islands north of Run't in the atoll were but slightly
contaminated and no interference with preparations for other shots resulted.
Bulldozing operations were carried out on Runit in the /B1 ackfoot tower area in
order to reduce exposures to an acceptable level for personnel requiring accese to this are
2.2.4—The Seminole] produced extremely heavy contamination on the Teitetripucchi-Bogon complex, Survey results are shown in Fig. 2.4. Certain
recovery missions requiring entry on the south end of Telteiripucchi were
held up for approximately two days. Entry Into the bunker on Bogon by
helicopter was not materially affected.

only in heavy local
contamination. Tower aites for the | Mohawk device on
Eberiru and thefInca device on Rujoru were not matcrially affected. Survey
results are shown {n_Fig. 2.6. Significant {~

resulted from the shot, requiring the establishment of a special check point
and personnel-decontamination facilities on the south end of Aomon in order
to facilitate recovery operations.
During these operations extreme precau-
tions were necessiry, and certain of the operations required the use of sup-
plied-air breathing apparatus by welders, as for example, when cutting torches
were used on pipe sections,
2,2.7—The Osage| device, air-dropped and detonated at 70€ ft over
central Runit, produced no significant contamination. The pre-entry survey
showed that no detailed survey was required and that recovery operations
could proceed without difficulty.
