OPERATION WARDTACK
Radiological Safety Suppo.t for
all Target Fleet Projects.
The rad-sefe center communication network will include the comand
ship, aerial survey planes and such other locations as necessary for project
officers to be advised as to the radiological safety situation, and can
thereby instigate the start of recovery and damage control parties.
A
Redex plot board will be provided and maintained in each of the briefing
rooms to advise ai] personnel planning an entry into the contamination
area as to the latest radiological situation.
The pre: perational and operational rad-safe support will be provided
to all projects concerned with the Target Fleet studies. This project
will review the various target fleet projects to assist them in adequate
rad-safe plarnins and provide the rad-sefe support in the field necesser;
for the safe completion of their missions.
A monitors training program for all of this project's personnel +111
be conducted at the Neval Schools Command, Treasure Island. This training will consist of the stendard two week atomic defense course given by
the Naval Schools Command, augmented by an additional two weeks of special
training to be given br the experienced radiation ard contamination control personnel o> health physicists assigned to the project.
In addition
to the formal four (4) weeks monitors training program, assistance in radsafe training will be available to other Target Fleet Projects end to
TG 7.3 personnel either at the ZI or EPG. A classroom will be setuy on
the floating Rad-Safe Center for training personnel in the forvard area.

PROJECT HISTORY AD STATUS:
In Operation CASTLE the radiological support for NRDL's Project 6.4
functioned as Project 64g. Project 6.45 provided the radiological safety
coverage for all Project 6.4 operations and evaluated existing radiolozical
safety procedures, techniques and instrumentation for their suitability
under tactical decontamiration conditions and to obtain information to aid
in the development of new and improved radiological safety techriqaues ard
instrements. In pest field operations, radiological safety was considered
primarily a service organization.
“hile the provision of adeavate support
to the test prosram is indeed a basic and important mission of ary rad-safe
erganization, Project 4.4g attempted to evaluate and improve the service
while providirs the necessary rad-safe support to Project 6.4.
Since the rad-safe coverage for the entire 7.1 program was provided
by TU-7 personnel, it was possible for Project 6.4¢ personnel to spend
more time on Project 6.41s particular problems rather than becoming involved
in the broader scope of the rad-safe problems generated by TG 7.1. However, the scope of Project 64's prozram was broad enouch to provide
