Radiological Surveys

Prior to any test operations, assessment of the radiological
hazards will have to be made. Such assessment will include preliminary
monitoring surveys to determine the magnitude of the radiological safety
problem and supplementary surveys made during the course of the test

operations to obtain additional detailed information on the radiological

safety situation. Since the test operations themselves are designed to reduce
the radiological hazards, it will be necessary to make pericdio checks
on the radiological situation in order to maintain a complete and upto-date radiological situation map of the test ships. The results cf the
radiological surveys will be useful in planning and coerdinating the day-

to~day-test eperations of Project 6.4.

Various types of surveys will be made. In addition, to direot
radiation measurements of beta-gamma dose rates, checks will be made or.
removable contamination, concentration of airborne radioactive material,

personnel and clothing contamination, etc. Periodic monitoring cheoks
will be made in non-radiological areas adjacent to the test area to
assure that the contamination is kept under control at all times. Cone
tinuous recording monitoring instruments will be used to detect any
Significant use in the general background in certain critical areas

such as the Radiological Safety Building itself.

Persnannel Dosimetry

In order to control excessive radiation dosage and to collect useful
dosage information on Project 6.4 personnel, it will be necessary to set up a

very detailed personno] dosimetry program.

ST, LOUIS Feat

In addition to the standard TU-7 film badge, various types of per-

sonnel dosimetry devices will be worn by Project 6.4 personnel.

These devices

will be processed more frequently than the TU-7 film badge and will generally

provide more detailed radiation dosage information. Studies will be made on
the correlation between monitoring survey dose rate information and integrated
radiation dosage, as shown by the personnel dosimetry devices.

It is planned

to ecllect information on the shielding effect of the human body on personnel

dosimetry devices and the optimum amount of dosage information required to
control excessive radiation dosage of operational personnel. Additional information is desired on the distinction between dosage information required to
control decontamination operations and that required to effect an integrated
radiation dosage record for personnel medical records. (See Tab G-4).
