IVY INDOCTRINATION

A p.imary responsibility, established at previous operations, of the Rad-Safe Unit is the
training of personnei in the concept and principles of radiation safety. TU 7, as the principal
technical Rad-Safe organization of Joint Task Force (JTF) 132, conducted a series of seminar
discussions related to the technical operations involved in Operation Ivy. Recognized authorities within the Task Force were invited to address seminars related to their particular fields
of interest. These guest discussion leaders presented short introductory lectures and then
opened periods of guided discussion.
