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).
