The areas southeast and northwest of the runway were stripped for planting jn <ne same manner as Bikini. Coconut, drrowroot, and pandanus samples were collected and analyzed (Table 2}. In addition, coconut crabs and marine life were sampled by the Laboratory of Radiation Ecology of the University of Washington. Table 2.

(Marshallese method of preparation) OBOE (AEROKOJ) - TARE (ENEMAN) COMPLEX Located on the southern side of the atoll. this complex consists of five istands, Aerokoj, Aerokojlol. Bikdrin, Lele, and Eneman with man-made causeways connecting Bikdrin to the islands on each side of it. OBOE (AEROKOJ) - PETER (AEROKOJLOL) - ROGER (BIKDRIN) As indicated by Figure 4 the first two islands are contiguous and are connected to Bikdrin (Fiqure 5) by a causeway. The measured background gamma radiation levels were 10 yR/hr or less over all of these islands. No radioactive scrap reading in excess of 30 pR/hr was found on the lJand or reef areas near these islands. Gamma spectroscopy showed ©°Co to be the contaminating radionuclide in the few pieces of scrap metal found. The only coconut trees on the complex were found on the east end of Aerokoj. No pandanus or arrowroot was found. TV
