rried , with Chapter 2 ENIWETOK OPERATIONS ~ ay 2.1 Facilities and Services In support of the operations at Eniwetok Atoll, check points controlling entry and exit from contaminated areas were established under the direction of the Plotting and Briefing Section of the Rad-Safe Center as required. Main check points utilized at all times were located at the air dispatcher's office and at the boat landing. As the situation demanded, other check points were established at the personnel pier and on islands in the atoll other than Parry. All persons entering or returning from a radex area were processed through these check points. An area was considered a full radex area if the contamination exceeded 100 mr/hr and full protective clothing was required for entry into it. Limited radex areas were established as necessary where the contamination was in excess of 10 mr/br but less than 100 mr/hr. In these areas the clothing requirements were dictated by the situation and the job to be performed. 2.1.1—Personnel-decontamination facilities were removed from the RadSafe Building and established on the beach across the road from the Rad-Safe Center, since the facilities in the Rad-Safe Building had been found to be completely inadequate during Operation Castle. The facilities consisted of clean and “hot"' change areas and showers. A total] of 1560 parties, with 1 to 50 men in each, were processed through the Eniwetok check points from 5 May to 20 July 1956. Of this group, approximately 1600 individuals were processed through the personnel-decontamination station. Laundry services necessary to maintain the protective clothing were provided by H&N under the direction of the Supply Section of the Rad-Safe Center. Two complete laundry units consisting of washers and driers were used for contaminated clothing only. 2.1.2—The equipment-decontamination station on Parry Island processed a total of 225 vehicles, ranging from jeeps to large mobile cranes.
