_ERDA SPONSORED PROGRAM AT KWAJALEIN
Dear Sir:
Mr. James Miller, of my office, discussed with Col. Van Netta the
possibility of locating two air sampling units at Kwajalein in
May.
Col. Van Netta stated that he foresees no difficulty with
this request provided we obtain your concurrence.
The Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) has
several continuing responsibilities in Marshall Islands concerning
nuclear test affected atolls.
One of our laboratories, Brookhaven
National Laboratory (BNL) has been directed by ERDA/HQ to proceed
with environmental survillance at Rongelap, Utirik and Bikini
to
gather data on the resuspension of radionuclides in the air.
A basic
part of a surveillance program of this type is to aiso establish air
samples in a non-affected area to serve as a comparison or control.
We propose to locate two air sampling units on Kwajalein and Roi-Namur
islands.
Mr. Nat Greenhouse from BNL will coordinate this with
Col. Van Netta when he arrives on island in May.
Wie would appreciate your cooperation in this matter and if you require
further information please contact me in Honolulu at
(808)
422-9211.
Sincerely,
Oricinal Signed By
