coast) where conditibias ranged for{ ,haze to heavy clouds.
2. Ito neu or.unrepoxted atomic energy activity war, identi-
fied during this n.earch..'Ibwevet, It is not passible to completely
negate the presence of any p3ssibly associated AE activity, such
as uranium mining, during a cearch?oz' this-nature. Mining acti-
vity was noted In several areas but a determination of ;u.t what
kind of ore w a:: being mined could not be made. The i:reviously
reported Ilengy-Yang Uranium Ore Pr3ceszing Plant was covered by
this mission.
