Personnel decontamination stations were established at the] Parry Radsafe Center, aboard the Bairoko and the Curtiss, and aboard the barge alongside the Ainsworth. Equipment decontamination areas were made avaifable at Parry and at the Kwajalein airstrip (the Kwajalein decontamination was provided by the Naval Air Station). These stations included a clean-clothing change room, a cositaminatedclothing change area, a shower area, and a monitoring point. t the Parry Radsafe Center the clean-clothing change room, showers, and mogitoring checkpoint were all located within the same building, whereas contami- nated clothing change area was located in a squad tent adjacenq to the shower area. All persons who were found to be contaminated infexcess of the background radiation readings were required to shower withJsoap until residual contamination had been removed. Figure 35 shows the monitoring procedure aboard the Curtiss, and Figure 36 shows initial decogtamination Of personnel at Parry. The Bairoko decontamination station co Salt-water showers and contaminated-clothing storage container catwalk adjacent to the flight deck, with the change room cons cabin just off the catwalk. The Curtiss decontamination stati aft shower facilities for a change and shower area. The radsa alongside the Ainsworth, which handled the greatest number of was equipped with a control tent, clean-clothing change tent, issue area, and outside salt-water showers. All persons retur Ainsworth were monitored before being permitted to board the s ensured that all contamination was removed aboard the barge. Personnel decontamination progressed satisfactorily, although there were reportedly objections to slightly contaminated lagoon water bejgng used for salt-water showers (Reference 17, p. 58). Other than aboard tile the arrangement of change room and shower facilities aboard sh¥p completely prevent the spread of contamination. Contaminated in many cases, had to walk through the ships to reach the cont clothing change room or showers. The barge facilities adjacen 147 Ainsworth, did not
