Disposal of scrap containing no induced radioactivity such as
towers and other materials on Bikini and Eneu and simtiler
materials on other islands requires no special consideration
from a radiolovical vicwpoint and is therefore not covercd

by these guidelines.

7.

As discussed in item 3 of Attachment 6, consideration of
disposition of undemared or damazed bunkers must take into
account their radiological status and possible utility.
In this regerd it is expected that bunker contamination

levels will be reduced more rapidly thin levels in the soil

of the near test islands.
There is the additional need to
obtain input from the Trust Territory representative that
reflects desires of the natives in order to determine what
use might be mace of these structures.
‘These bunkers would
not appear to fall in the seme category as other more readily
removeable contaminated scrap material since their potential
uscrfullness is undoubtedly much greater. As for the damarcd

bunkers on Nem and the sand island vest of Pravo Crater, it is

sugtested that their physical rather than radiological condition
as Une more bupurcvautl cousiderstion eud a Gecision on tneir
disposition should be made in the field again consicering the
desires of the returning natives.

8.

Any epecial problems that might be discovered such as plutonium
contsnination other then in soil or observetion of levels of

environmental redioactivity (particularly items of the Bikini
diet) significantly different from or in addition to that
knoim to the Ad Hoc Committee and contnained in HASL 19C and
Dr. Gustafson's reports could require edditional guidance

and should be reported.

Finally, it is known that the distribution of scrap found on these

RS

near test islends cxtendcs into the shallow water shore areas and on
into the deeper parts of the lazoon end ocean.
It is suszested that
location and removal of this underwater metal scrap is generally not
feasible and that any problem with such material is best handled by
followup surveys as suggested in item 5 of Attachment 6.
It is not
intended that item 5 will apply to the cleanup phase of recovery
