AD.MINISTRATIVE ADD LOGISTICAL WATICRS
The administrative and logistical matters involved in Project 6.4 are

grouped as (a) test preparation, (b) roll-up of the project, ed (c)
logistics and support services for the test.

4.1

Test Preparation, Laboratory

The test preparation on a leboratory scale involves pre-test
experimentation to determine optimum methods and procedures for obtaining
the desired data; evaluation and calibration of instruments and devices;

and the training of personnel for their various assiznments.

These oper-

ations are described briefly below, as they pertain to the individuel sub-

projects, and details are given in Amexes A to Jd.
4. 1.1

Viashdown

No laboratory pre-test work.
4.1.2

Ship Decontamination
Laboratory work on ship decontamination methods will be

carried out in order to determine the influence of such factors as

weathering, surface deposits, and repeated contamination-decontamination

ou the effectiveness of the proposed decontamination methods. Suitable
additives will be tested, and mechanical performance of decontamination
equipment will be studied.
4.1.3

Aircraft Study
For the aircraft study, a series of tests have been con-

ducted using fluorescent simulant on aircraft sections subjected to
small-scale washdown. A nozzle arrangement has been set up and tested on
a dud F4U4, to determine the optimum location of each nozzle in covering
the aircraft with an adequate flow of water. A pre-test study has been
made of the cleaning agents to be used with the aircraft decontamination
equipment, and the aircraft have also been modified for loading.
4.1.4

Survey and Photography

ST. LOUIS FRC

Test preparation for survey and photography includes
evaluating the portable beta probes; testing the correlation of beta
readings with directional gamma readings; testing a newly designed wipe
sampler; testing the camera and synchronizer to be used to detect the fallout on Baker; and training the enlisted personnel assigned as radiolorical
o
survey monitors.
