f.
I asked about fission product levels on Aomon-Bijire~Lojwa and
suitability for residence.
Roger indicated levels are very low and suitable
for residence.
2.
I discussed Pilot Soil Removal Project and importance of time - distance
data to any decisions on soil cleanup.
COL Mixan indicated they understood
importance of good data. He also indicated that to do a careful job of
obtaining data, analyzing data, and preparing data for presentation the later
in April the meeting the better for JTG.

As I see it the decisions to be made at this conference are as follows:
a.
How much soil cleanup on Runit?
(1)
Alternatives appear to be:
(a)
Clean all over 400 pCi/g, surface or subsurface.
|
i Advantages:
|
.
a
Complies with literal wording of AEC Task Group guidelines.
b
Confines most highly contaminated soil (and probably greatest
curie level of transuranics) found on the atoll in the soil-cement mix in
the crater.
Disadvantages:
|
2
Expends resources to no long term resettlement benefit.
b
Full extent of requirement probably cannot be know until
execution.
(b)
Clean only very highest levels (hot spots), surface or subsurface
(level to be decided).
