7. FLIGHTS: AFOA4T-1 sponsored flights from Fawail indicated a serie mum air contamination of less than 1 mr/br in that area, (3 sarck(. Similar flights from Guam reported tenths of an ar/br as a sarie mum reading. This vas encountered 4 Varch, 100 nautical ciles west of Fonape at 5000 ft. 8. INFLIGHT EXPCSURES: SS expected, several aircraft, including sanplers, cloud trackers, evacuation aircraft and P2V security sweep air- eraft, encountered areas of air contamination. Im all cases it appears thet the exposures were well under task force limivaticzss for a health point of view. Standard decontamination proce2ures are expected to be effective so thet all aircraft srould be ree turned to service well prior to the next shot. Ths P2V security sweep sectors will be modified on future shots to reduce the possibility of contaminating these aircraft. 9. CONCLUSIONS: a. The Air Rad Safe operations for BRAVO were senesally successful but several changes in procedures are being sade (see below) to provide more timely and accurate data. be No hazardous areas of air contamination were en- countered although fallout in the Rongerik/Rongelap area would make it probable that such contamination did exist for a stort period of trose atolls. ater Ce Improved monitoring, data reporting and communica~ tions facilities ere required. ad. Lower search altitudes nay improve the ability to cortelate air contamination_with. subsequent fallout. . e. No hazardous fallout appears likely in ths =awail, .
