Clark's authorization.

in advance.

12 Novamber 195)

Such authorization may, of course, be obtainsd

All initial entries to areas reading higher than 1 r/hbr

require Clark's specific authorization. Since a situation board will be
kept at Building 1 as well as at the Rad-Safe building, you can save
yourself time, trouble and frustration by seeing Clark first if it seems
mecessarye In any case you will save your nerves by not arguing with tha
Red-Safe people unless you know them and are sure they know youe

The

argument with Clark may be heated but at leest he will know you and you
will probably wine In a close race ask Ogle for helpe He is on your side
this time, maybe.

Continuing cleararce.

At Castle some of us had what amounted to cor=

tinuing clearance to certain ereas between shots. Newall ami I did, for
example, after each initial entry to our somoen buildings. We were not

permitted to go back until Bill agreed to it, but once he released the
boats from the Enyu anchorage we were in effect cleared to enter as wa
chose and took on ourselves the responsibility for controlling exposures.

Technically we vere not free to picnic at Bikini or anyplace else away

from Aomoen.

We could mot, for example, go ashore on Bokobyaada without

Bill's authorization. We hope to set up a similar system for NPG but it
has cenplications there which will make it a little more restrictive.

Specifically we will propose that continuing cleararce can be authorizes
by Clark for any or all people in a project at the request of the project

officer. The clearame will be good for arees wnere conditions are known
from ground survey readings made previously by monitors of tha same projezt.

Each individual will have his om clearance slip for use at Red=Safe chsex

points.

If the project officer has not himself been briefed by Rad-Sefe he will te

briefed when he gets continuing clearance for his people.

Continuing clearance will be authorized for any period between shots but
must be renswed after each shot except HADR am possibly HA. Continuing

clearence will also expire when the accumulated dose for an individual
reaches 3.0 roentgens. The purpose here is to be sure that everyore <= the
individual, the project officer, and Clark -- knows the 3.9 limit is closs.

On the other ham if there is real nscessity or if the daily accumulated
dose from the pertinent area is low, the individual may still be authorizodé
continuing clearance in lieu of specific entry clearance. The matter must
be negotiated with Clark, though, and mt with the Rad-Safe people.
In a few cases it may be desirable to get contiming clearances for non-

project people, particularly Reynolds eaployees. In such cases, advise
Newnan when you arrange far the help. Hs will ask Reynolds and if it's
all right will so inform Clark. Gererally speaking, Clark will mt
authorize contimning clearances for persons not on a project's roster
without concurrence of the appropriate supervisor whether he 4s another
