The Army Chemical Center issued orders for three ra- diological safety engineers in November 1953. The Chief of Naval Personnel issued orders for naval personnel in October 1953. CTU 7, through invita- tion, secured the services of three LASL health physicists as technical advisors. Owing to staff delays in procuring military personnel, TU 7 performed its mission with a shortage of three control officers, one laboratory of- ficer, and one photodosimetry technican. The lack of the three control officers materially hampered the unit's effectiveness in conducting decentralized controlled recovery operations. The void was partly filled by using supply and laboratory officers in secondary control functions (Ref- erence 16). Between November 1953 and April 1954, three classes were established to qualify Project 7.1 and Holmes & Narver radsafe monitors: (H&N) supervisory personnel as one at the Nevada Proving Ground (November 1953); one on Eneman Island, Bikini Atoll (February 1954); and one at Parry, Enewetak Atoll (April 1954). About 200 individuals were qualified as radsafe moni- tors by these schools. Comparable training sessions were conducted by the health physics organizations of Edgerton, Germeshausen & Grier, Inc. (EG&G); UCRL, Livermore site; and the U.S. Naval Radiological Defense LabOratory (Reference 17). Instructions for the conduct of the initial course were provided by the LASL Health Division, UCRL, EG&G, lst RSSU, and JTF 7. Training in- cluded an examination of the fundamentals of radiological safety, classroom instruction, and a series of practical field exercises. fundamentals included: 89 These
