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. 3. | 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). 3/1/
