Potential exposure existed f all per- sonnel involved in recovery operations and setting of array after the first shot. ions The pertinent project report notes that instru stated that although “every effort should be made to recover the imSs Produce portant stations as early as possible ... if recovered bu dangerously high radiation fields aboard ship, it may be nec Pssary to break off and return to Eniwetok to off-load."
