personnel of ships and boats are ‘not over-exposed to radiation and that
ships and boats are not contaminated excessively,

The criterion in both

cases is thet no personnel will be over-exposed as defined by paragraph

3a above, except in emergencies or tactical operations, and that after
the operational period no personnel will receive more than 0,3 roentgen
per week from contaminated equipment,

(4) For ships and boats operating in contaminated woters, recsonable
allowances will be made to differentiate between the relative contribue

tion to the total flux from fixed contamination and that due to "Shine"
from contaminated waters,

Fixed alpha contamination should not exceed

2500 23 (mameGerminute) per 150 enof area for enclosed areas
(cabins, etc.) and S0MEnEper 150 em® area for open surfaces where
ventilation is good,

(5) At the conclusion of the operation, final clearances will be
granted by Task Group Comenders, or by Commanding Officers if so ordered,
to those ships and boats showing no point of contamination greater than

15 mr/dey (beta end garme) and no detectable alpha,

Other ships and boats

will be granted operational clearances by Task Group Commanders, or by
Commanding Officers if so ordersd,

4n operational clearance implies that

contaminetion exists and-that special procedures as necessary are instis
