Nervik, Division Leader, Radf.ochemistry Enlwetok sample analytical program. Progress Repofi No. u. Status as of 13 July 1973. This progress report summarizes the laboratory analytical effort being carried on at LLL by members of the Radiochemistry Division, Biomedical Division, and Hazards Control Department, at the University of Leventhal, Mr. William Major), and at Eberline Instrument CorporaEric Geiger, Mr. Ernest Sanchez). Initial processing. All efforts completed as of 29 June 1973. sediment, and core samples: Initial processing efforts at LIZ have been ccznpletedas of 15 June. We have revised our bookkeeping on numbers of samples processed in Building 412. Revised totals are as follows: The sediment and core samples were collected from the lagoon floor.
