.4.1.5

Interior Contamination Study
At the Laboratory, pre-test work has included:

testing

of different filtering elements for pressure-drop characteristics and
general adequacy for use in the air saupler; construction and testing of
reduced-scale boiler model and a full-scale ventilation system; preparation
of prototype air samplers, particle collector, and beta-decay monitors;

construction of counting chambers; and duct section design.
4.1.6

Instrumentation

A discussion of instrument procurement, design, and testing
is conteined in Annex F,

4.1.7

Radiological Safety

It will be necessary to properly indoctrinate Project 6.4

personnel in the radiological safety aspects of their particular problem.

Special lectures and training programs will be gi-en to those personnel
available at USNPDL prior to departure for the test site.

Additional

training will be given by the Treasure Island Training School. Radiological safety instruments will be procured and will be tested in the
Laboratory simulating expected conditions.

Pre-test work on the shielding study has planned a
simplified shielding experiment using a gamma source of known energy.

The pre-test work on gemma instrumentation, dosimetric devices, and
radiac sets has some bearing.on the shielding study.
4.1.9

Air Monitoring
The air-monitoring study is to conduct simulated test

runs at USNRDL, using Sr°O calibration samples, and X-ray and gamma-ray
backgrounds, so as to determine the versatility of the air-monitoring instrument. tUxtra shielding and other adjustments as may be necessary will
be added, and the instrument will be calibrated prior to shipboard installation.

4.1.10 Panel Study (6.5)
For the study of construction material panels, pre-test
work is to be done at the Army Chemical Center, where representative
construction materials will be s-lected and panels designed to house these
materials. Appropriate protective coatings for the construction materials

will also be selected.
