Project 2.8 — Shipboard Countermeasures Methods Studies - R. H. Heiskell
W. S. Kehrer
OBJECTIVE
To determine the relative effectiveness of various proposed ship end
personnel protection and reclamation methods,
DESCRIPTION AND EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES
The shipboard countermeasures methods studies were divided into eight
problems to be carried out on the YAG-39 and YAG-40 and at the FadSafe
Center on Parry Island.
These involved the study of the effectiveness, of
various shipboard protective methods, decontamination methods, hazard
assessment methods, personnel protection and decontamination methods, and
basic contaminability-decontaminatility studies.
Monitoring service was
provided for Projects 2.7, 2.9 and 2.10.
Experimental problems follow:
Protection of Miscellaneous Shipboard Materials:
were placed on board the YFNB~-13 and the YAG-40,
Various sizes of manila
line and wire rope were also placed on toard the YACG-40.
materials were removed on T+2 days.
Canvas samples
The canvas sample
The manila line and wire rope were
disposed of because they were not "hot" enough to return to NRDL,
Methods of Reducing Fadiation from Contaminated Wood Decks:
Samples of various woods were placed in racks on the flight deck and efter
deck house of the YAG-4O and decontaminated by Project 2.9 during their
decontamination of the ship.
