During April and May of 1977, BNLSEP's Greenhouse, Miltenberger and Levine went to Utirik, Rongelap and Bixini to do site planning for wind- powered electrical generators and air sampling stations. Together with a con- ventionally powered comparison air sampling station, which they iastalled at Xwajalein Island, Kwajalein Atoll, these stations initiated the long-term sam- pling program for air activity concentrations of plutonium. Fossil-fueled generators were judged incapable of supplying continuous year round power on outer atolls. Wind-powered generators were thought to be capable of supplying WAN
