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 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 top center of the sampling panel had an integrating dosimeter
