k. As resources permit transects should be cut through all berms and mounds on northern Runit. Soil profile samples from such transects should be taken to radiologically characterize the contents. Soil profile cuts below the original surface may be required in such transects. . This effort must contribute to cleanup survey and certiiication as well as characterizetion. Such work in the Cactus crater ejecta lip should be done only as opportune to other necessary operations. Major effort to characterize this area should not be made until extent of entombment 1. It is recognized that soil sampling locations indicated on the Runit data map are only approximate. grid system are not available. FF WR Tr area is better defined. Specific coordinates by the local Locations shown on the Runit data map are the best presently available and on-site location must be done by scaling from the map. Coordinate data available will be provided sepa- rately. n. CJTG must provide adequate priority for resources; logistics, transportation and personnel, to ensure smooth operational continuity. Priority should be second to Lojwa and Runit construction and equal to other radiological cleanup operations. Work schedules and immediate zations concerned. through £ The Runit characterization efforts outlined in a above should be considered as a part of the beginning cleanup Operation and given appropriate priority. data acquisition resulting from a through Target date for completion of f above is 15 January 1978. a etee oy priorities must be set by CJTG in coordination with ERSP and other organi-—
