It was very apparent to me, the principal investigators, and also expressed by some of that there is an immedia:ze neci fox strong program management embracing all the existing AES programs. It is my recommendation that a program manager cr scientific/technical Girector and a small steering committce be appointed from a list of persons not presently ress.onsible for the conduct of the program. The program manager should be given some executive responsibility and should be ressoonsible directly to the AES. PROPOSED ENEWETAK CLEANUP The one project that received the most attention from the workshop was the proposed cleanup of the Enewetak Lagoon Islancds. Initially, concern was expressed regarding the placement of contaminated materials and soil on Runit. In particular the rationale for using Cactus Crater for the contaminated concrete slurry was not obvious. This particular operation appearec to have many disadvantages in that it does not remove the material from environmental interaction since there are data that indicate ocean water connections do exist and that erosion, etc., will ultimately result in the material being returned to the uncontrolled situation. As a repository for relatively short-lived radioactive materials this concept could be useful, but the consensus of the meeting was that the crater was not an acceptable solution for plutonium contaminated wastes. The discussion then moved to alternatives. The most Obvious one discussed was ocean disposal outside the lagoon. It was reported that this was not acceptable to E.P.A. is difficult to accept from a technical standpoint.
