* Yieldsgiven are estimatedonly as of this date, Experimentersmust instrumentto accept a ratherwide range yieldwiseon the respectiveshots. Positionsgiven are approximate.If exact site locationsare required they shouldbe obtainedfrom J-6. shot days, such as E#3, Y-2 etc.) EniwetokAtoll is the base of operations. The followingobtains: All cryogenicwork will be done on Eniwetok(Parry). All dewar repairand maintenancework will be done on Eniwetok Five of the six deviceswill be assembledon Eniwetok.(Parry facilitieswill remainon Eniwetok (Parryand Eniwetok). Much preliminaryassemblyand testin ment will be done on Eniwetok(ParryB Port of entry for aircraftand most shippingwill remainon Radio links with Los ;ilsmosand Oahu will remain on Eniwetok. Temporaryworkingcamps will be locatedon Rojoa (Eniwetok Atoll), and on Eninmanand Namu (Bikini). Enyu, Aomoen and Bikini:will have smalltemporarycamps to supportproject personnelnecessaryat those sites. C. Piring of the five shots at Bikini;ltollwill probablybe accomplishedfrom the timing and firing stationon Enyu Island (Nan), by a firingparty of 6 or less. This stationwill also serve as the television signalsin additionto the wired signalstill be furnishedat Eniwetokand Bikini. Certaintime signalswill be repeatedba,ckfrom Bikini to Parry (Elmer)to allow correlationof operationswith the Bikini shots. Firing of the shot at Eniwetok,,tollwill be accomplishedfrom the controlstation D. There will be no pre-shotpersonnelor materialevacuationof

Only those personnelrequiredfor the actualfiringor for immediatere-entryor early preparatoryactivitieswill be on Enyu or Eninman or aboard ships in the Bikiniarea; the balance of the personneland equipmentwill be phased to hniwetok. Predictionsas to the reestablishingof temporarycamps in tht: Bikiniarea after the first shot cannotbe made at this time; therefore projectpersonnelmust be preparedto live aboard ships subsequentto the first shot if necessary. Limitedlaboratory,shop and office space will be providedaboard Navy Task Group vessels. Temporary(tent) laboratoryspace shot, providingthis space is essential to the project and not use laboratoryspace at Uiiwetok (i'arry)or aboard ship. It. is hoped that it will not be necessaryto evacuate?.nymatoriar beyondthe linite of BikiniI&tollfor protectivepurposes,except for the E. The constructionphase must be completedby 1 January19% TO meet this completiondate the followinglead times must be met in order of It is thereforeimpe:ativethat the submissionof the respectiveproject's constructionrequirementsbe given the highestpriority. As much material as possiblebill be evacuatedto Eniwetokprior to the first shot. Equipment and materialrequired for post shot re-entrywill be evacuatedby LST's and F. It is expected that the.followingconnunicationsfacilitieswill be availablefor Task Group 7.1use: 1.
