4 DRAFT Agena TO: Commander, FCDNA Chairman's Report - Conference on Runit Cleanup, 4-5 October 1977 SUBJECT: 1. Summarized minutes of the Subject conference convened as scheduled. conference are attached (Encl 1). 2. Conclusions: Based on the discussions and agreements during. the con- ference, the chairman concludes that: a. The radiological data presently available does not permit an accurate refinement of the scope of work involved in the cleanup of Runit Island. b. Additional data, both soil profile and in-situ survey, are required if the estimate of the volume of soil to be excised is to be refined with any degree of accuracy. The greater the density of the data obtained, the greater the accuracy of the refinement of the estimate. c. Great expenditure of resources solely to define the scope of work | in Runit Island cleanup is not warranted. Such an effort would be self- defeating. d. To a very large extent the effort expended to definitize the scope of work in Ruesit Island cleanup can be done in such a manner that it will directly contribute to the effort required for certification of Runit Island. Such effort would be necessary in any event and can serve dual purposes. e. A coordinated program should be established and conducted to simultaneously define the scope of work involved in Runit tsland cleanup and contribute data required for eventual Runit Island certification. pol | REPOSITORY DOE/ VAS0 couscronoe [AV BOXN?: FoLDeR EREWETAK FOLDER #7 GENERAL CORRESPONDEMCL FY 1478
