General nature of operations - This period will be a presentation of the
salient features of the forward area operations. Concept of operations
to include number, location, and type of nuclear detonations. Pertinent
items of Task Force and Task Group operations plans will be discussed
along with the general vlans for evacuation and re-entry. Safety
responsibilities of project officers and monitors wil) be defined.
Techniques of monitoring
a,
Instrumerts of monitoring
1)
Ionization chamber (AN/PDR T~1B)
2) Geiger-Mueller counter (MX-5)
b,
General procedures for operations in contaminated areas:
marking areas, and controlling operations
ce.
Radiological surveying, air and ground
d.
Evaluation of survey
e.
Control measures
f.
Field decontamination
surveying,
|
g- Responsibilities of monitors
Practical exercises
a.
Instrument calibration - This exre4se will consist of a review of
the operational characteristics of the ionization chamber survey
meter; a demonstration of the methods of calibration and the calculations involved in the use of radiation standards. The demon-
stration will be followed by individual applicatory exercises in
which the students will calibrate ionisation chamber meters.
b,
Radiological monitoring - These exercises will consist of a review
of monitoring procedures; a demonstration of the methods of radiation
monitoring and calculations of exposure times. The demonstration will
be followed by practical exercises in which each individual will use
a portable ionization chamber and a G-M counter in location of radio-
active areas ari will calculate exposure times at definite points in
the areas of radioactivity. Actual recovery missions will be simile ed
with maximum realisn.
c.
ho
Radiation problems - These problems will act as a final review of the
radiological safety instruction and will be of a practical nature so
as to emphasize the salient features of the responsibilities of
monitors. Situations that will probably be encountered in the field
will be written into the problems to test students! individual
initiative.
Review - This period will be utilized to review fundamental deficiencies
that may have became apparent from the results of the radiation problexs.
