RAD LAB and In Situ Van.

(1)
The first part of the program outlined below, addressed to the USN personnel, is
intended not only to provide the necessary skills but also to sort out the group, on the basis of
individual abilities, to the three major tasks to be accomplished; i.e., radiochemistry laboratory
operations, in situ van support and soil samping operations.

three Navy personnel at the Nevada Test Site (N TS).

2 Covers specialized Enewetak computational methods on Hewlett-Packard

computers.

(c)
Soil sampling techniques and laboratory procedures, Three days on soil
sampling provided by EG&G and DRI at Nevada Test Site (NTS) on soil sampling for remaining
individuals.

(3)

Radiochemistry operations.

Five (5) days of laboratory and laboratory-related

procedures including sample preparation, sampling, record keeping, radiochemistry procedures,
measurement systems and data reduction. This can be accomplished in a five (5) day period for the
USN group (six (6) people maximum at a time) at McClellan Central Laboratory, McClellan AFB,

CA, using existing radiochemical laboratory staff and a contractor supplied training outline. It can
be repeated as necessary to include a total group of twelve (12). Direct coordination with

McClellan Central Laboratory for this training class is authorized.
