Three soil samples (A, B, and C) from the Hunter`s Point Annex, Parcel E, were received at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency`s National Air and Radiation Environmental Laboratory (NAREL) in July 1993 for preliminary study to determine their radionuclide content, particle-size, and radionuclide distribution. Based on the conclusions and recommendations of this study, ten more samples (D through M) were collected in September 1993 and sent to NAREL for study to obtain a better understanding of the {sup 226}Ra distribution in the soil and to attempt to determine to what extent soils at the site are contaminated beyond easily identifiable radium sources.
