Assumptions and Limitations
1.6.1

Same as in basic plan.

1.6.2 Contamination of interior compartments of ships beyond
the region of immobilization from underwater atomic attack may present a

personnel hazard of military significance.

1.6.3

Major avenues of ingress of contamination are the venti-_

1.6.4

The total hazard to personnel in interior compartments

lation and combustion-air systems.

is caused by gamma radiation through bulkheads and decks, by active
deposits on surfaces of compartments and ductwork, and by active material
contained in the air. These factors can be measured independently.

1.6.5 Areas of interest in this investigation are firerooms,
boilers, boiler air ducts, ventilation ducts, and ventilation compartments.

1.6.6

Information gained from observations of the boiler,

1.6.7

Information gained from observations of limited numbers

boiler-air ducts, and firerooms on the test ships can be usefully applied
or extrapolated to boiler systems in various naval vessels of interest.
of typical ventilation systems and devices can be usefully applied or
extrapolated to ventilation systems in various naval vessels of interest.
