Q: You seem to have a comparable job with Rad-Safe; have you discussed with them the possibility of combining the developing of film units with the work done on film badges at the Rad-Safe film badge development trailer? A: Yes sir; I do intend to discuss this with them, as we have done this on previous operations. Project 2.4 = Decontamination and Protection - J, C. Maloney = CRL The primary object of the project is to provide the data required for the formulation of criteria for the decontamination, protection and recovery of military bases. To accomplish this objective, it is proposed to determine the relative contaminability of building materials by exposing panels of construction surfaces = mounted on speciai frames at various pitches and orientations - to high intensity fallout on the bow of the YAG ships. We will also evaluate the effectiveness of decontamination methods and the practicability of such techniques for industrial recovery, We want to evaluate the relative effectiveness of protective measures; such as the painting of surfaces and the simplification of structures or shapes, to cut down the contamination levels both before and after decontamination, and to ascertain the effective scope and retentivity of the contamination of surfaces. Operationally, we plan to take sets of panels of different building materials and put these sets of panels on a frame. The frames will then be put on the bow of the liaison ships for exposure to fallout head on, more or less. After the event the ships will be taken back to Parry Island where H&N will take the frame off, and we will go thru with processing them (ionic decontamination), There will be certain chemical and physical tests on the surfaces = and an attempt to determine the depth of penetration of the contaminant. We will participate in Cherokee, Zuni and Navajo, There will be six men in the FA - four civilians and tw enlisted men. Construction require= ments on H&N will be small for the CASTLE facilities are to be rehabilitated. Project 2.5 = Neutron Flux Measurements and Shielding Studies - Benjamin Barnett CRL This project answers the requirements of DOD for neutron flux measurements as a function of energy and distance. We are going to participate in all three types of operation, I, II, III, (The three operations that you have on that attached sheet.). These will include Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Yuma and Kickapoo. We will pyt out a number of detectors, gold, tantalum (perhaps ), iodine, zirconium, and fission detectors. On Cherokee, we plan to have two stations on Able, two stations on Baker, one on the edge of the Bravo crater, and one on the Cop,ED/p Lan; Re Je —Stehe———— ° inlining
