Weapons Laboratory was furnislied a copy of the report of NV's radiological survey, which included certain recommendations regarding radiological safety end control. At this time the Island of Runit (Yvonne) was identified as a significant and potentially serious rad- _ hazard area.

NV representetives expressed concern because of the known widespreac contamination of Runit end strongly recormnended the adoption of stringent radiological surveilla and controls including a bio-assay progren for all participants. March 1972 NV representatives together with the Director, DOS, Hq, made a liaison and planning visit to the Trust Territory in connection with a planned May '72 survey of Bikizi. The NV representative: took this opportunity to visit Eniwetok for a firsthand view of the operational implications of a preliminary survey of Eniwetok. At the conclusion of this visit, NV recommended informa and later formally and in writing that the Air Force adopt more stringent and comprehensive radiological control of Eniwetok Atoll than had beenobserved during this visit. May 1972 The AEC survey teem having completed its survey of Bikini Atoll devoted approximately one week to a preliminary survey of Enivwetox. Although this was not separately funded, it was done with DOS approval and at small incremental cost. May 1972 NV Assistant Manager for Operations accompanied Trust Territory officials, Eniwetok traditional navive leaders and others on a visit to Eniwetok Two members of the NV survey team were retained - at Eniweto«k to provide a radiological escort for this visit.
