and biological food-chain considerations.
It 1s anticipated
that technical standards and requirements will be provided by
responsible divisions within AEC Headquarters."
Organization:
The organization of the field survey, the analytical
work, and the interpretive effort associated with the Eniwetok Pro- ©
.gram has largely been determined by the following considerations:
1.
At the Headquarters level the Division of Biology and
Environmental Research (DBER} will caiman for asseesings
from the field to conduct that assessment,
‘2,
The Division of Operational Safety (DOS) will have equivalent
responsibility for work associated with clean-up operations.
3. The Eniwetok Atoll is currently under the jurisdiction of
the Air Force (SAMTEC), and contracter field operations people are on
the atoll supporting the
PACE experiments.
DOD (DNA) has agreed
that these people will support the survey program also.
The PACE experi-
ments are now standing down, and the PACE people are off the atoll
pending approval of the appropriate environmental statements.
In
_ order that we do not put an undue strain on the support capabilities
the radiological survey should be completed before the PACE people
return,
oh,
Their return is now scheduled for January 1, 1973.
The Radiological Survey is a fairly large effort superimposed
‘on technical organizations which already have made commitments for
their people for FY 73.
The number of qualified organizations able
and willing to respond is therefore limited.
.
De Since no compromise on the quality or comprehensiveness of
the survey will be acceptable, participants are being chosen on the
basis of their being able to do the necessary high quality work in the
+ naeamet
time frame in which it is needed.
With these considerations in mind, an organizational chart of the
Eniwetok Survey Program is shown in Fig. 1.
NVOO is the primary organi-
laceeeten RE ee
zation for implementing the survey, interacting with DMA, DBER, and
DOS at the Headquarters level.
The surysyeétself, and the interpretive
‘effor$associated with it, have been divided into eight categories:
