d. Fitght #4 (H plus 36 to H plus 48 hours), The necessity fer scheduling this flight will be detormined by CUJTP SEVEN on tho basis of the results of Flights #1, #2, #3 and other sources of information, . Qe Othor Flights: WB=29 flighte scheduled at any tino during the LB=hour pordod for specific weather reconnaissance missions will xake routine roports on radiation encountered, - he Dircetives: Mission directives from CJTF SCVEN will be routed through normal commnd and communications channels. However, to insure that adwance details get to the operating agency sufficiently in advance of the missions, an informal mission directive will be transmitted directly to tho WB=29 squadron through “Weather Contral-Weather Station’ RATT charmols by Mission Take-off time mimis 8 hours for each flight. 5. Data to de Subakned The basic requirement for those flights is to establish «@ @9 ta of sufficiont accuracy to support conclusions and decisions relating to health hazards and means of avoidance and to confirm or modify forecast cloud segment drift. The data will also be used to advise specified agencies having interests contiguous to the task force arca of responsibility. In gencral, the missions are to be flown on the tracks specified with maxim emphasis on complete coverage of the designated areas, It is not anticipated that ineflight analysis of the overwall situation is ncecossazy execpt that tracking aircraft crews should recognize cloud bourxiries and leading odges. Normally, panetration of the highly contaminated areas will not be nocessary or required unless specifically dirceted under musual ciroumstances. Doviatios from the prescribed track and rcporting positions should be made only upon entry into highly contaminated arcas. For scloud tracicing missions, turn-out will be exceuted at intensities of not more than. 3.0 r/hr, Pollowing suck turneout, appropriate in-flight adjustment of track should be mado by tho aireraft commandor in the interost of maximm coverage of the desige nated areca, The Radsafe monitor is to exercise discretion on turn-out from highly contaminated areas and to consider crew personnel dosages and end anticipatod duration of flight through the radiation ficld, The limit of 3,0 r/ne is specified as o naxicum rather thon a limit to which penesrs tion ‘must de made, 6. rogized, eaeens: Since highly procise mcasurcments arc not equipment and scporting codes are specified accordingly, Each flight will have on board suffictont instruments of the followirig type to insurc rcasonable expectancy of proper functioning of at least cme of cach types Ae AN/POR-TLB be MES or any cquivalont military instrument such 2s the AN/ POR=27, capable of dircet reading in millircontgens pcr hour. Ce An additional survey instrument of the scintillation counter type will bo mado available to the task force op a loan basis, This instrument appears promising, and will be furnished to tho W=29 operation porsonnol for additional iwoLi’ backeup. e-7 | |
