Project 2,8 — Shipboard Countermeasures Methods Studies - R. H. Heiskell
Objective
To determine the relative effectiveness of various proposed ship
and personnel protection and reclamation methods,
Description and Experimental Procedures
These studies consisted of 8 problems to be carried out on the
YAG=39 and YAG=40 and at the Rad-Safe center on Parry,
These eight
problems involved the study of the effectiveness of various shipboard
protective methods, decontamination methods, hazard assessment methods,
personnel protection and decontamination methods, and basic contaminab=
ility-decontaminability.
Results and Conclusions
The removability of the RRPC was the same as experienced after the

inferior to hand scrubbing.
It was, however, far superior to hand serubb-
