of the Scientific Director and Colonel asamp.
Commander Mie and Lt. Wligh, accompanied by monitors, went
ashore on Zero island at 1400 on Zebra-day to collect film badges,
t
neutron detectors and heat sensitive papers.
This mission was very
successful and all equipment except that which was in the two stations
nearest Zero point was recovered without unduly exposing members of
the party to radioactivity.
With a few exceptions films were in
excellent condition and provided good records of gamma radiation.
On Zebra-day and Zplus~l-day the C-47 survey plane carried out
its mission obtaining excellent data which could be correlated with
the surface gamma radiation measurements.
During the morning of Zebra-day one of the lagoon radiological
safety patrol craft visited the "Lame Duck" and discovered that there
was no evidence of recent contamination.
They refueled the gasoline
motor so that equipment would be operating in the event delayed fall-
out occurred from cloud material.
Inspection of the equipment later
on showed no indications of fallout and consequently no records were
obtained from the collective protector or cascade impactor.
Neverthe-
less, some film badges and one excellent sample of heat sensitive
paper were recovered.
