The skeletal organization was divided between Eniwetor and Bikini along; the folloaicg> Hoes: (a) Bikini Rad-Saye (cAjloat) 1, USS Bairoko a. Control element for helicopter missions b. Laburatory elements of instrument repair, phntodosimetry and records, and radi2z tion analysis c. Personnel decontamination and supply sections 2. USNS Ainsworth (barge) a. Control element for boat missions b. Personnel decontamination and supply sections 3. USS Curtiss a. Control, personne! deco:tamination, and supply sections 4. USS Estes a. Information and administrative center This organization resulted from the emergency Shrimp situation, wherein the field Rad- Safe center at Eninman was destroyed and prolonged shore-based operations became radiologically unsafe. (b) Parry Rad-Safe 1. Control element for boat and helicopter missions 2. Laboratory elements of instrument repair, photodosimetry and records, and radiation analysis 3. Decontamination elements for personnel and equipment 4, Supply base for Bikini and Eniwetok The activities of these elements and various sections will be discussed in subsequent paragraphs. 4.6.3 Training An extensive training program was initiated by the unit some six months in advance of operations in order that a skilled group of technicians could be available to the unit. Four Navy electronic technicians attended a four-week instrument repair course at the U. S. Navy Atomic Defense School, three Navy medical technicians attended a special two-week radiochemical laboratory course at Evans Signal Laboratory (ESL), and eight Army photodosimetry technicians also attended a special one-week course at ESL. The unit conducted several project monitor schools to qualify project personnel in the fundamentals and techniques of radiation safety. The first school was conducted at the Nevada Proving Grounds in the second week of November 1953. A second school was conducted at the Eninman Rad-Safe Center in the middle of February 1954. A third school was conducted at the Parry Rad-Safe Center early in April 1954. A total of some 275 AEC and project personnel were qualified as project monitor's as a result of these courses and similar courses at NRDL, UCRL, and EG&G. A genera! indoctrination course was conducted for TG 7.1 and 7.5 personnel through the use of AFSWP training films covering basic physics of atomic weapons, medical aspects of nuclear radiation, and field decontamination. These films were shown along with the usual movie pro- grams at all camps at Bikini and Eniwetok. 4.6.4 . Control Element The control element exerted supervision of TG 7.1 and 7.5 activities within radiologically contaminated areas. Control stations were established at Parry, USS Bairoko, USNS Ainsworth, USS Curtiss, and USS Estes. Radiological situation data were maintained in the form of situation maps at these stations. These maps were used to control activities in contaminated areas. we agen. > These stations constituted clearance stations for all working parties entering contaminated areas of 100 mr/hr or greater.
