Resurveys of the environmental radiation and radioactivity

Considering that the method of disposal of plutonium contaminated soil
and scrap has not yet been decided, that not enough information is
available to determine whether it is feasible to remove plutonium from
the soil to reduce the amount of material requiring disposal, and not
