PART Si!, CHAPTER 11
11.10 Vehicles leaving contaminated areas were
_
monitored and decontaminated when the
radiation levels were greater than 7 mr/hr
gamma only, or 500 cpm alpha on the outside,
or 7 mr/br gamma plus beta, or 500 cpm alpha
on the inside.
11.11 Personnel leaving contaminated areas
were monitored and decontaminated when
levels were greater than 7 mr/hr gamma plus
beta, or 55 cpm alpha for outer clothing, or
greater than 1 mr/hr or 100 cpm on the skin
or underclothing.
11.12 Construction activities in RADEX areas
were accomplished at the discretion of
CTG 7.5 and the AC/S, E-7.

OBJECTIVES
11.13 The objective and mission of Rad-Safe
operations and support services were as
follows:
a.

To turn over to TU-6, TG 7.1, the
responsibility of Rad-Safe operations
for the: duration of the Operation;

b.

To comply with all JTF-Seven directives and requirements relative to
radiation safety;

c.

To provide buildings and equipment
for the Rad-Safe Centers;

d.

To provide laundry facilities for decontaminating clothing;

e.

To provide the facilities for decontaminating personnel, vehicles, and
equipment;

f..

To conduct training courses to qual-

the exchange of film badges for all TG 7.5 personnel.
11.15 IBM cards corresponding to numbered
film badges were stam
using the individual identification plates at the time the
film badge was issued. Using the IBM cards,
H&N maintained the records and tabulated the
individual dosage of all TG 7.5 personnel and
prepared the following reports:
Daily Dosage Report
Daily over 2r Report
Daily over 4x Report
Bimonthly Summary Report

Monthly Report of History of all Film
Badges Issued

;

Quarterly Summary Report
The summary report at the end of the
Operation listed accumulated gamma exposures
for 3464 TG 7.5 personnel.

GAMMA EXPOSURES
11.16 Following an unexpected fallout over
Sites Elmer and Fred resulting from the
FIR and KOA detonations on 12 and 13 May,
it became necessary to request that the guide
of 3.75r for a 13-week period be increased and
the 5.0r for the Operation be raised to 10.0r for
35 key H&N personnel whose absence from EPG
would have seriously handicapped the Operation.
This fallout produced an additional radiation
dose to the end of the Operation ranging from
100 to 1500 mr, depending upon the length of

time a person remained at those sites. The re-

ify Rad-Safe monitors for TG 7.5

quest for increasing the guide limit for these
individuals was approved by CJTF-Seven.

g.

To provide a pool of qualified monitors to support Contractor operations;

11.17 Of the total of 3464 TG 7.5
personnel
listed on the summary report for Operation HARDTACK, the exposures can be
broken down as follows:

h.

To maintain the records of radiation
exposure for all TG 7.5 personnel;

operations;

i.

To assume the responsibility for RadSafe services at the completion of
. the Operation.

FILM BADGE PROCEDURES
11.14 All personnel within EPG were provided
with an addressograph identification plate
and a film badge. These badges were attached
to and worn with the security badge at all
times. The badges were exchanged bimonthly
or upon return from a mission into a contaminated area. The AEC Contractor was responsible
for the issuance of identification plates and for
