4.7.2
Organization
The necessity of maintaining a capability for firing at both Bikini and
Eniwetok Atolls at the same time required that TU-7 provide two complete
and independent rad-safe organizations. Over-all control over the two organizations was maintained by CTU-7. Each organization contained the fol-
lowing sections:
1.
Monitoring section for providing all monitoring services and manning check points,
2.
Plotting and briefing section for conducting all aerial surveys and
briefing all personnel going into radex areas.
3.
Supply section for maintenance of rad-safe supplies, including
laundry (facilities furnished by TG 7.5).
4,
Instrument repair section for maintenance of rad-safe instruments.
5. Laboratory section for determining the amount of activity containéd
in soil and water samples.
6. Decontamination section for operating facilities for personnel and
equipment decontamination,
Control over the official dosimetry and records section was maintained
directly by CTU-7. This was necessitated by the double badge system (per-
manent and mission film badges) that was used during the: operation. A
small photodosimetry section was maintained at Bikini for processing mission film badges used at that atoll, All permanent badges were processed
by the Eniwetok photodosimetry section, The master record file for all
personnel in JTF 7 was maintained at Eniwetok.
Personnel for manning TU-7 were obtained from the Army, Navy, and
Air Force, The majority of the personnel were obtained from the Army’s
1st Radiological Safety Support Unit, a Chemical Corps unit stationed at
Ft. McClellan, Alabama, The Army provided 102 officers and enlisted men;
the Navy 8 officers and enlisted men, and 30 civilians; and the Air Force
12 officers and enlisted men. Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory provided
four personnel in an advisory capacity.
Scientific projects in TG 7.1 and contractor personnel in TG 7.5 were
required to provide their own monitors for recovery dnd construction mis-
sions. The majority of these personnel were trained by members of TU-7
at either Ft. McClellan, Alabama, or the PPG.
