GENERAL

1.

The AEC Task Group recommended that "all radioactive scrap

metal and contaminated debris now or later identified" should be removed
from Enewetak Atoll as part of Cleanup.

Holmes & Narver,

Inc, made the

initial identification (H&N-1348) based on radiation measurements made
during a brief two-week period of the Engineering Survey (12 Oct-21 Dec
72) by monitorings from the EPA working under the direction of the AEC.

The Cleanup EIS estimates that materials identified as contaminated in

H&N-1348 occupy a total volume of 7,262 cubic yards.
2.

The two-week contaminated debris survey was limited to the

detection of gamma contamination (alpha and beta contamination were not
sought) present on the ten islands which had either surface ground zeros
or heavy, close-in fallout.
