Radiological Safety
CJTF SEVEN No, 3~53
1. During the BIKINI phase provide for air to ground reporting of
approximate air radiation intensities encountered by all aircraft
operating between ENIWETOK and BIKINI from H Hour to H plus 24 hours.
It is not contemplated that aircraft should be scheduled for this
specific requirement alone. Reports will be routed to the RadSafe
ffice at the task force command post by the most expeditious means.
Reports will be prepared and coded in accordance with paragraph ™; K
below,
The Commander, TG 7.4 will:
a.
Provide own radiological safety monitors, including one airborne
b.

monitor for each multi-engine aircraft crew assigned to TG 7.4.
c. Provide own repair, spare parts and calibration facilities for
radiac equipment.
d. Provide facilities for personnel decontamination on ENIWETOK
ISLAND,
e. Provide decontamination crews and facilities for own aircraft at
ENIWETOK ATOLL.
f. At ENIWETOK ATOLL, assist TG 7.3 in aircraft decontamination with
TG 7.4 equipment, ar required.
g. Provide necessary helicopter and lisison air service for radiological surveys and post-shot recovery operations (monitors furnished
by TG 7.1).
h.
Provide monitoring services for the removal (by TG 7.1 personnel)
of radioactive samples or data collected by aircraft.
i. Provide cloud tracking aircraft for post-shot radiological safety "situation data" up to radius of 500 miles in the significant
quadrant for a period of 46 hours, starting at approximately H plus
6 hours. Reports will be prepared and coded in accordance with
peragraph 7X%,Kbelow.
j.
During the BIKINI phase, provide for air to ground reporting of

Employ simple codes (to be furnished separately by CJTF SEVEN)
approximate radiation (air) intensities encountered by all aircraft
operating between ENIWETOK and BIKINI from H Hour to H plus 24 hours.
It is not contemplated that aircraft should be scheduled for this
specific requirement alone. Reports will be routed to the RadSafe
Office at the task force command port by the most expeditious means.
Reports will be prepared and coded in accordance with paragraph 7%, {

an conjunction with the periodic weather reconnaissance reports to
report approximate air radiation intensities encountered on regularly established weather reconnaissance or cloud tracking flights and
for reports required from aircraft operating during the BIKINI phase
between ENIWETOK and BIKINI from H Hour to H plus 24 hours.
Reports
will indicate the approximate position, altitude and order of magnitude of radiation encountered.
