RADIOLOGICAL SAFETY
3.14.1
Early History
In order to provide for the radiological safety of the Task Force, a radiological-safety
unit was activated as TU 7 of TG 132.1 on 22 January 1952. CDR Russell H. Maynard, USN,in
addition to his duties as Chief of the Technical Operations Branch, J-3 Section, JTF 132, was
designated as the commander of this unit. During the early growth of this unit Maj John D.
Servis, USA, was designated as Deputy Commander and Operations Officer of TU 7. Since
Commander Maynard remained at Washington, D. C., with the Task Force Headquarters during
the period prior to the overseas movement, Major Servis served as his representative at
LASL. Owing to the large number of LASL employees operating with TG 132.1, the servicesof
the necessary medical technical consultants to TU 7 were obtained from LASL. These consultants were Dr. Thomas L. Shipman, Director of H-Division, LASL, and Maj Payne Harris,
MC, USA, also of H-Division.

During the growth of the organization, contacts had to be made to secure the necessary
personnel for carrying out the mission of this unit. For a short-period operation such as this,
personnel support was requested from the Armed Forces and specific civilian installations. Of
the five civilian personnel operating with TU 7, three were obtained from the staff of LASL,
one from the Evans Signal Laboratory (ESL), and one from ORNL. The following personnel

were requested of the various branches of the Armed Forces for their operational support:
The Armed Forces furnished all the requested personnel with the exception of the instrument
repairmen. When the names of individuals selected were known with certainty, those who were
to hold key positions in TU 7 met with Commander Maynard in Washington for a preliminary
briefing before departing for the Forward Area.
