OP=aRaATI]. HARDTACK
Radiological Safety Suppozt for
all Target Fleet Projects.
In Operation HARDTACK the hulk of the rad-safe support will be committed
to the Redex survey of the target fleet, recovery of experimental samples
and equipment on the target fleet and the decontamination of the target
fleet. This rad-safe support project would be a function of TG 7.3 that
would support all parties involved with the target fleet, inclidingthe
technical projects in TG 7.1. A group of health physicists and monitors
would provide the rad-safe support and liaison between the TG 7.1 projects
and the rad-safe support project. All logistic support to the TG 7.1
projects would be available through the APA Rar-Safe Center. The rad-safe
support project would be an organization similar to Project 0.17 of
Operation WIGWAM.
