and telephonic nets when available. During each recovery or work phase, the monitor constantly kept track of the accumulating dosage with pocket dosimeters and through calculations,
using the readings obtained on the AN/PDR-T1B. Someof the results of aerial and ground
surveys are shown in Table 3.1. The ground values given in the table are indicated by daggers,
and, unless otherwise stated, the aerial values are from an altitude of 25 ft.

(a) Ujelang Evacuation, This evacuation was accomplished utilizing the LST 827, commencing on 27 October 1952, and re-entry was accomplished on 2 November 1952. TU 7 loaned
personnel to CINCPAC to ensurethat all necessary radiological-safety precautions were taken.
The evacuation was carried out in a successful manner, and no radiological hazards were encountered.
(o) Horizon Radiological Safety. Radex had shown the possibility of the Horizon being
subjected to somefall-out. The data which this vessel was to collect were essential, and the

vessel had to be “on station.” The radiological-safety-responsible agency was TG 132.3. The
interest of TU 7 in the operation lay in the furnishing of radiological-safety personnel and
equipment to accomplishthe radiological-safety activities. This craft, which had been 72

miles north northeast of zero, reported contact with the fall-out area. Within 20 min after the
