contaminant expected in the typical harbor detonation, but not encountered on this operation, would cause a very difficult decontam{.-
nation problem.? It is felt that the data obtained in CASTLE
approximates this condition; however, these data should only be used
as interim yardsticks in planning protective criteria and decontamie
nation countermeasures for harbor installations, subject to subsequent
verification,
.
At present work is being conducted to prepare simulants of
contaminants resulting from nuclear detonations in harbors in order
to conduct further laboratory studies on this problem.1°
