scale bulldozing, in decontaminating large contaminated areas,

Thorough evaluation of field survey data, the extent of con-

taminated areas will be mapped, and contamination profiles folded into
the data in order to estimate the total area requiring clean-up.

VITI. SCHEDULES
A schematic diagram of the schedule for the Eniwetok Radiological
Survey Program is shown in Figure 5.

We now expect that the field survey group will depart for Eniwetok
on or about October 12, 1972 and that the work on Eniwetok will take
approximately eight weeks.

Samples taken in the field are to be returned

to Livermore on weekly scheduled flights.

Processing and analysis will

begin as soon as the first samples arrive at LL™.
The first data that are expected to be avallable ere those taker in
the field (sample types and locations,

survey instruwnent readings, etc.).

These should be in reportable form by January 1,

at which time a review

meeting may be scheduled to discuss the status of the program,

Considering all available laboratory capabilities, sample preparation
and analysis will certainly take a number of months to complete.

Samples

will be processed on a priority besis according to the needs of the

Radiological Assessment Group, so that the DBER assessrent and review can
proceed on a continuous schedule rather than wait for all data to become
final.

The DBER review schedule shown ia lig.5 is a very tentative one.

Every attempt will be made to speed up the process, without compromising on
quality or completeness, of course, but no one chould be under the impression
that gathering this much experimental data and interpreting it will be
accomplished overnight.
