cine, AEC

Individual records of Navy and Air Force personnel
were forwarded to their unit of permanent assignment

for inclusion in the health record of the individual

Individual records of Army military and civilian personnel were forwarded in accordance with SR-40-1025~-66,
dated 21 April 1953, for inclusion in the individual's

field military 201 file or the civilian 201 file

Individual records of AEC-administered and -controlled
personnel were forwarded to each laboratory or agency
having administrative jurisdiction over such personnel.

The completion of records was delayed 6 weeks because TG 7.3 film
badges from several ships were not received until 1 month after the end of
the operation.

The development and recording of these badges required

special arrangements with the Health Division of LASL since TU 7 had been
deactivated.

Difficulties were encountered in notifying Air Force units of exposures because some of these units were disbanded shortly after completion

of the operation.
The following indicates some of the problems confronting radsafe per-

problems.

In many instances records were from 24 to 48 hours
behind the activities of the individual. When the rec-

ords were made current, the individual was listed as an
overexposure, and the Control Officer was criticized for
not informing the individual of his current exposure at
