Project 2.8 - Shipboard Countermeasures Methods Stuijies ~< R. H. Heiskell OBJECTIVE To determine the relative effectiveness of various proposed ship and personnel protection and reclamation methods. DESCRIPTION AND EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE These studies consisted of 8 problems to be carried out on the YAG-39 and YAG-40 and at the Rad-Safe center on Parry. These eight problems involved the study of the effectiveness of various shipboard protective methods, decontamination methods, hazard assessment methods personnel protection and decontamination methods, and basic contaminability—ijecontaminability. In view of the lack of contamination on CHEROKEE, a detailed description of the problems and experimental procedure will be deferred until the ZUNI summary is published. RESULTS The YAG's did not intercept a significant fallout, and thus project results are negative. COPIES SAE LANL RO - 42- US
