DRAFT aes, of "volume A" will be carried into the Lagoon with the flooding eurrent. This will be true, particularly, if the test occurs during a period of large tidal ranges. Because of the westerly set to the currents in the jagoon along the TARE-UNCLE (EininmanEnirikku) boundary, much of this contaminated water will be moved westward and will not be avallable to be carried out to sea on the subsequent ebbdtide. After the first eight hours approximately 65% of the initial “volume 4" will be within the Lagoon. About LOS of this remaining segment of "volume A” will be discharged from the Lagoon at Rukoji channel, the remaining 395 cf the original "volume A" being carried stowly northwéstuerd and thea eastward by the subsurface current. Subsequent movements would parallel those deseribed above for the ease of a snot time close tc the time of high tide. This Giscussion has teen concerned with the movement of the very hignly contaminated volume which initially would occur within &@ one mile radius of point zero. 4A much larger sree in the south- eontral section of the 1s;;oon will be hishly contaminated. Becsuse of the location of the siot the initial flushing rates associated with the removal of this contamination from the Lagoon. Will be mach higher than indicated ty the renewal times for the lagoon, provided the ENE trade winds prevail. Assuming the moderate Eli trade winds occur during and for some weeks after the test, it is estimated that 20% of the initial contamineted waters in tho legoon will be flushed from the Jagoon in the first 24 hours. ne: Durinn the next full day 20% of the remaining 58 S¥
