from the AEC Task Group report on this subject (Encl 4).

The chairman reiterated

the FCDNA position and the fact that resources are constrained, limiting the
total amount of work which can be done.

This condition forces consideration

of reducing the scope of work involved on Runit and the placing of priorities
on tasks considered to firm requirements.

Dr. Pramlitt reviewed the available data, how the data was obtained and

showed views of the island as it appeared during test operations and as it
appears now.

Printed data is at enclosure 5.

There were discussions of

Plutonium/Americium ratios, plutonium 238 to plutonium 239/240 ratios and
uranium contamination levels.

Dr. Bramlitt reviewed the work done on the

Erie test site and sampling methods used on areas of southern Runit.

Questor

The chairman asked participants to consider the,of what can be concluded

from the available data and whether that data can lead to a better definition
of the scope of work under conditions prevailing on Runit Island.

There were

discussions of the methods used to obtain available data; the relative degree
of preciseness of aerial survey and in situ survey.

The aerial survey technique

integrates readings over approximately one hectareeach second.
isopleth liwes are probably accurate to + 100 feet.

Aerial survey

The in situ survey

integrates over a field:of view of 68.8 feet diameter and approximately three
centimeters
te
depth.

It was concluded that the data presently available would

not support refinement of the scope of work involved.

Further data is highly

desirable.
6.

The chairman then addressed the obtaining of such data.

There was discussion

of methods of measuring both surface level and subsurface contamination levels
