Abstract: The Defense Nuclear Agency has managed two large-scale soil
cleanups
(landmass decontaminations)
of plutonium contamination. Both
are at Pacific Ocean atolls formerly used for nuclear weapons tests.
The Eniwetok Atoll
(EA)
cleanup between 1977
contaminated soil.
The Johnston Atoll
and 1980
evaluated 390 ha
of contaminated land and cleaned 50 ha by removing 80,000 m{sup 3]

of
It
has checked 270 ha, will clean 15 ha, and plans for removal of 80,000
m{sup 3] of soil. The cleanups are similar in other respects including
carbonate-based soil, in situ radiation surveys, contamination
characteristics, soil excavation methods, safety, and weather. The two
cleanups are in contrast relative to planning time, agencies involved,
funding, documentation, environmental considerations, cleanup
workforce, site beneficiaries, waste characterization, regulatory
permits, management, and project duration. The most noteworthy
differences are the rationale for cleanup, the cleanup process, the
definition of clean, and the cost.
