RAD
Radiation safety and control procedures were implemented prior to
operations.
Implementation of these
Mee res was the responsibility of the FRST under the staff supervision
prove 12 HQ JTG. Radiation control personnel werethefirst persons on
ot Mad, and they determined the radiation safety measures required.
ation of all
soil
cleanup
When all radiation safety and control procedures were established, the
ERST controlled all entry and exit from the island. Before commencing
iny operation which was likely to raise dust, such as brush removal, a
prefabricated sprinkler system was assembled and used to spray water
pumped from the lagoon over the worksite as a dust pallative. This system
was used in all phases of soil movement from excision to stockpiling to
loading and offloading boats. While absolutely necessary, this technique
slowed operations because it required at least an hour to wet down the soil
adequately.
