Air Force (PACE) ere active on Runit but their activities to date
and anticipated should not seriously affect the cleanup job.

Aomon-Biijiri-Rojoa:

Biijiri and Rojoa are relatively clean with surface gamma levels
of 10 “hr or less and some metal scrap reading as high as
ko

hr.

Aomon also is fairly clean with the exception of one

burial site in the northern sector and two ground zeroes also in
the north. One of the latter reads about 3mr/hr. There are

also two monuments on this island on concrete slabs upon which a
protective 3" layer of concrete has been poured. Although the

marker plate from one of these has been removed, it is assumed to
indicate the presence of g& contamination.
The protective concrete
is being eroded and cracked.
The contaminated slabs themselves
are too large to move and will probably have to be broken up if

removal is required.

In addition, there is a large quantity of

iron scrap on Aomon (probably activated).

Engeki:

1

Potentially one of the most useful islands for agriculture,

’ Engeki presents a substantial cleanup job. There is a large
amount of metal scrap, both buried and on the surface with readings

ranging as high as 12mr/hr.

The PACE project will attempt to

avoid using Engeki, but if its use becomes necessary will attempt
to minimize the impact.

Bogon and Bogairikk:

Small islands, a moderate amount of scrap, with gamma readings

relatively high on Bogon (up to 3004~/hr).
