RADIOLOGICAL SAFETY
1.
Radiological safety of all task force military and civilian personnel is
a command responsibility and radiological sefety activities will be pere
farmed through normal command channels,
TéymlnsTeRy Radiological Defense (RadDefense) operations, or
Radiological Safety (RadSafe) operations, short term RADOPS, are general,
terms,
They are used to denote the means by which a unit can control end
confine the damage and radiological effects of an atomic explosion, or
of radioactive materiel spread by other neans, thereby preventing and
avoiding health hazerds to personnel,
They are interpreted to include
measures such as X8} training, orgenization, eK distribution of radiolo~
gical personnel, X68} developrent of techniques and procedures, Mnelocirs
use of detecting equipment, protection or removal of exposed personnel,
and decontamination of personnel, structures end equipment,
DOE ARCHIVES
Following each detonation there will be areas of surface radiological
contemination and areas of air radiological contamination,
are designated as RadiologicalExélusion Arees (R’DEX),
These earezs
Prior to shot,
tines, the torecast/surface R/ADEX will be disseminated by CJTP SEVEN in
the target area, SHELSUCIGCALSS EE TH OCC OLS DOREGHELLEASOBCOE,
These R/DEXES will represent a forecast from HOW Hour (H-Hour) until cise
semination of ea later surface and eir RDEX at ebout H plus 4 hours,
The leter RADEXES will be based upon the master radiological "situetion
mep" maintained in the R/DS:FE OFFICE of CJIF SEV,
Since the air
RADEX after shot time will be based on monitored #im tracking byTOK
aircraft over significant large ocean creas, information promulgated
from the forecast air RDEX may have to be extended beyond the origin~
ally anticipated 4~hour period)
