ARCHIVING PROCEDURES AND/OR NOTES CONCERNING SOIL SAMPLES FOR THE ENEWETAK TRU PROGRAM DOE/ERSP PROCEDURE NO. 27 APPROVED: I. DATE DRAFTED: 10 February 1979 13 February 1979 by Don R. Martin (ERSP Manager) After samples have been balimilled, prepared by sterilization and placed in plastic sample bottles, they will be: A. Identified with Eberline Identification Number sequentially. B. Stored in a CONEX container in the following manner: lL. Left side of container upon entry will be the A side and the right side will be the B side. Shelves will be numbered 1 through 8 starting at the top shelf and going to the lower shelf. Samples will be placed on the shelves in numerical sequence starting with the lowest EIC number. When a sequential numberis not followed, a blank (bottle with tape to identify it as a blank) will be placed in that numbered slot. (This will allow a position for a missing sample bottle if found at a later date.) If a sample is removed for further analysis a blank with tape will be placed in its slot to identify that the sample has been removed after cataloging. An entry in the archive log will be made to identify the reason for removal of the sample. Numerical sequence changes drastically, i.e., samples 625 to 681 are not present because they were swipes or air samples. Any data that are necessary to explain why the samples are not sequential should be entered in archiving log and inventory sheet. When CONEX containeris full, it will be prepared for shipment as follows: a. All samples must be made secure to preclude them from falling off the shelves. b. CONEX container will have a numerical listing of samples in the container. Qe. CONEX container will be locked to prevent entry without proper authority. d. CONEX container's serial number or assigned identification will be placed in the master archiving log for future reference. e. Shipping instructions follow. This procedure is to be used as a guideline only and will be followed until changes are authorized. See the attached Eberline Locator Procedure. (Ed Note: Attachment deleted.) A-27-1
