Based on the decontamination data given in Chapters 4 and 5,
it appears
that different WB-29s served as the heavy nuclide sampler on various shots
and the shoe boxes were easily moved from one aircraft to another.
The
B-36H double~squeegee systems had six compressors pumping into six 900-in?

containers at 3,000 Lb/in?

(Reference 9, An-

The F-84Gs were equipped with a sampling panel mounted atop the main
instrument panel.
The sampling panel is shown in Figure 24.
This panel
contained radiac instruments and indicator lights for each sampling system.

the sampling project manager maintained control of each mission.
The top center of the sampling panel had an integrating dosimeter
