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 (permanent and mission film badges) that was used during the operation. A
small photodosimetry section was maintained at Bikini for processing mis-~
sion 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
lst Radiological’ Safety Support Unit, a Chemical Corps unit stationed at
Ft.McClellan, Alabama. The Armyprovided102officers 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 and construction mis-
ited with
uirborne
sions. The majority of these personnel were trained by members of TU-7
at either Ft. McClellan, Alabama, or the PPG.
