On D-Day, sampler F-84's, WB-29's and FB-36's were parked in b. «ld othe aircraft were checked upon landing for evidence of c. The Sampler B-36's were parked on the decontamination pad und d. Unless urgency necessitated, -> aircraft decontamination was designated "HOT" decay area, radiological contamination, If an aircraft was contaminated above 25 mrf/hr it was isolated and pasted, checked for radiation intensities by the same monitor used in "a™ and "B" above, attempted until Dfl day, at which time the B-36's were decontaminated first, e€. «8 Soum as the radiation intensities wore redue*1 to tolerable levels, determined by the aircraft Decontamination Officer, the B-36's were returned to thcir normal purking area, f. Second priority fer decort ariination were F-8L sampler aircraft, , wee ee Oy me ee Cee ee et TN see a ca — ana oe . e B Third priority for decontamination were WB-29 aircraft. h. Fourth priority for decontamination were those aircraft accidentally contaminated, See photograph no. ~ i 1. Before aircraft were cleared for Slying the intensity of radiation Je «as sireraft were decontaminated, they were released to maintenance, at crew level positions had to be less than 10 mr/hry until all aiteraft had been released from the aircraft Decontamination Section. In some cases, maximm readings were higher than 10 mr/hr when released to maintenance. However, provisions of 1, above, were then comolic’ with before flying. k, Where readings increased rather than decreased, following decon~ taminstion, three primary causes were responsible 1. 2. 3. Collection of wash water in cowling. Faulty instruments, Reatings indicated in tne Tamidar Presentation of- Decontamination activities were in each case, the highest reading obtained, 1. Hours to decm does not include tine required to remove cowling ‘ard tow into position on pad. . ’ tm The discussion of procetures followed for each individual shot is discussed in the appropriate shot section.
