SAMPLING LOCATIONS ON ISLAND LEROY 7.3 NORTHWEST ISLANDS 7.3.1 Alice Background Island Alice (Marshallese: Bokoluo) is the westernmost of the northern islands of Enewetak Atoll. It has an area of 9.0 hectares with mostly sandy soil and vegetation cover ranging from light to dense. There were no nuclear events on Alice during testing operations but there were several scientific stations and, at one time, a runway down the center of the island. The runway was gone by the time of the cleanup, but a helicopter pad made of pierced steel matting remained, and there was other scrap metal scattered over the island. Besides the scrap metal and other scattered debris, a three story photo bunker remained on Alice at the time of the cleanup. During nuclear testing operations, the soil on the northeastern end of Alice was graded, and all the brush stripped. The brush had grown back by 1972. There were no known or suspected contaminated burial areas on Alice, and the metal serap had no activity above background except for a derelict landing craft on the east beach. As a result of nearby nuclear events, Alice ranks ninth among the islands in the Atoll in total H + 1 hour exposure rate, having received 3,383 R/h. 211
