\ 1. Organized and commanded a radsafe unit 2. Supervised all ground-monitoring services associated with scientific missions; this included monitoring of water supplies at inhabited distant atolls (if necessary) and establishing suitable tables of allowable residual radiation levels for equipment, personnel, vehicles, boats, etc. 3. Furnished laboratory services and technical assistance to all task groups, including: a. Procurement, storage, and issuance of film badges and specified items of radsafe personnel equipment b. Development and interpretation of exposed film badges c. Maintenance of film badge exposure records d. Provision of facilities at the Parry Radsafe Cen- ter and aboard the USS Bairoko for calibration, repair, and maintenance of monitoring instruments and for storage and issuance of spare radiac equipment parts 4. Procured radsafe clothing for JTF 7 personnel 5. Procured and issued special high-density goggles to specified personnel of JTF 7 6. Provided decontamination facilities for personnel and equipment 7. Conducted laboratory studies to determine the nature of radiological hazards. TU 7 also issued a safety bulletin to be read by all personnel, cluding visitors, at PPG. in- The bulletin stressed the need for cooperation by all groups to minimize radiation exposures by following AEC guidelines regarding radiation protection, decontamination, and contaminated waste disposal. The bulletin also stressed individual responsibility for keep- ing personal radiation exposures to a minimum. Restricted entry to con- taminated areas, proper use of monitoring equipment and protective clothing, and sanitary eating and drinking habits were all listed as elements of individual responsibility. The organization of TU 7 is shown in Figure 13. Major functions of the unit were radiation control, decontamination, and laboratory analysis. om 80
