I was assigned to a recovery team that roamed around ground-zero, poppingoff
tops of recording devises. 1 would photograph what was inside each container,
which were dials and gages.

We were dressed out completely in white suites with hoods; and taped shut. Tt
was very hot, both solar and radio-actively.

I did this for 3 days. I was told at the time that my dosage was "3R". When I
returned to Berkeley and turned in my pocket dosimeter badgeit created quite a
stir. I got 5 separate phonecalls over a weeks time, wanting to know where I
had been.
In 1988 I asked for the official readings from LBL's safety group (Tony Greenhouse).
I was sent the enclosed memo, which refer to lower readings than I wastold at the
time.
