Abstract: Various test surfaces and specimens were exposed on YAG-39 and

reading in the nonwashdown area of

Flathead and Tewa.
(C-D) studies were conducted when the
Three days after Zuni the average
the YAG-40 was approximately 350

mcr/hr and in the washdown area approximately 90 mr/hr. When the

decontamination studies were initiated, the average levels after
Flathead were lower than those after Zuni by a factor of 10. The
average nonwashdown reading was 35 mr/hr and the washdown reading, 10
mr/hr. The removal of the removable radiological protective coating
(RRPC) after Zuni in the nonwashdown area removed all but 0.5 to 8.0%
of the contaminant, while firehosing alone left a residual of 6 to 28%.
