CONFIDENTIAL o 20°C thin 4 om com ; : cop 2, E31, ; - we This report contains detailed information on radiation-survey meters and dosimeters of interest to the Armed Forces. The information includes the model number, manufacturer, description, method of operation, range, availability, cost, dimensions, and weight of each item. The cut-off date for inclusion in this report was 1 September 1952. This report was not for general distribution. It was compiled as a basis for @ joint Signal Corps-Chemical Corps report on the subject. CRLR - 162 - AEROSOLS FOR RADIOLOGICAL WARFARE. Charles Robbins, Charles 8. Brice, Jr., and Alfred W. Kiement, q t 29 April 1953. st 2dide che was 2d xr - the n SECRET-RESTRICTED DATA This report explores the feasibility of utilizing RW agents as aerosols rather than as ground contamfnants. The analysis is mathematical in nature and is based on some tenuous assumptions, but the calculations | i The conclusion is reached that though it is technically feasible ' are believed to be accurate within + 30%. to disperse fission products as aerosols, such aerosols appear to have no special advantage over RW ground contamination. In situations where the RW aerosol is effective, ground contamination appears to be more effective. This conclusion is supported by three generally accepted facts: (1) the limited aveilability of radioactive aerosols limits their use, (2) protection against internal hazards is relatively simple, while protection of personnel from exterior contamination can be accomplished only by physical removal of the contaminant, (3) a ground contaminant remains effective for a period x= of months unless physically removed, while a radioactive aerosol would aisperse in a much shorter time. 12 s CRLR -~ 156 - AN EVALUATION OF THE AIRBORNE HAZARD ASSOCIATED WITH RW TESTS AT DUGWAY PROVING GROUND.
