Operations

MOLALA will initially moor alongside Able and the radiological survey will commence immediately after power is supplied and RadSafe is set upe This will be described in plan in Annex 6.4d. Atthe
completion of this survey, the aircraft (Annex 6.4¢) will be removed,

followed by the panels (Annex 6.4j).

These will be hoisted by the ship's

boom and lowered onto a barge to be supplied by the Task Force.

These

items will be towed ashore and transported to their respective testing
areas. Simultaneous with the initial survey, the records fromthe gamma
recording instruments will be retrieved by 6.4f personnel (Annex 6.4f).
Successive problems leaders will then initiate their work, governed by the

radiological situation and the planning conferences.

For details of the

operations of various problems, see Annexes 4, B, C, D,!, F, G,,H, I and

Je

As soon as the radiation level on Baker is sufficiently low to permit

comiencement of operations on her, she will be moved alongside Able, and

Able «rill commence supplying facilities to Baker. At this time, if it is
radiologically feasible, the RadSefe and Technical Control Points will be

moved onto Able.

Operational Decontamination

Depending upon the initial levels experienced on

the ships, and the effectiveness of the washdown and the tactical de-

contamination operations conducted by Problem 6.4b, an additional thorough
operational decontamination may become necessary. Plans shall be made to
determine the need for this sufficiently before four days prior to shot

time that it may be completed by H minus four days.
