Qthough not a clearly defined level of training, special
instructions over and above the general indoctrination were given
to the personnel who were to operate the decontamination laundry

r

facilities and to certain individuals at the JAPTJN Island receiver
Stition site. These persons attended most of the monitor course as
well.
All personna of the task group except trained radsafe
monitors

and instructors were required to attend a two-hour general

indoctrination on radiological safety. Officer instruction was held
separately fron the enlisted instruction so that emphasis could be
placed on command responsibilities, and the implementation of &diological Safety ~eration Plan 1-56. Further conditioning and orientation was accomplished through free public showings of movie films
dealing with the effect of atomic bombs, and activities and events
occuring during Operation SANDSTONE and GREWiOT.JSE.
