STIWICTs Requirements of Intermediary and Allied Points
Each one of the four or five Collecting Points should have a
sufficient quantity of mobile radiation equipment to serve effect-
ively in its specific area in the event of an atomic explosion* It
is mosential that persons assigned to these areas be familiar with
the operationsuol accurate interpretation of results and readings
of these instruments. It is anticipated in this problem that for
security reasons the present Civilian Defense Program should not
have access to the buildings of this tgonoy.
1. To protect the perconnel against secondary irradiation in
the event of an underwater or ground burst, it is suggested that each
person sasignod to that particular area be supplied with the :alloy-
ing clothings
Comeralls worn over ordinary uniforms* These could be
washed or destroyed if badly contaminatod.
b. If there is any chance that the worker would become con.
teminated in a washing-down operation, rubber mite which cover
the entire body 'would be necessary* These rubber uniforms (410.39)
oorad be decontaminated and reused,
o* rootgear of heavy canna which slip over the shoes should
be provided for workers in a contaminated area.
4. Rubber gloves for ordinary use. Hard leather gloves for
rough work.
sp. Headgear should consist of a tighteritting cap made of
pliable material covering the entire hair bearing area of the
head.
f. Respirators, mask' covering the nose and mouth of the
type developed as a protection against chemical warfare agents,
are satisfactory in preventing the inhalation of radioactive
dust particlee. If the amount of duet is very high, it will be
necessary to supply the worker with a respirator hood (included
in uniform nbm above).

equipment to determine whether a cadaver should be decontami

the decontamination stations
Upon entering the decontamination
came/ties and non-caeualties who have
dlogical contamination should be passed throu
described shower system. This system should be w
to permit the passage of a litter and a monitor in the event
that the patient could not decontaminate himself.
At the point of entrance, all clothing showing any ovi
dance of contamination should be removed. All eyeglasses
shoeing any evidence of contamination should also be re ?
This includes exist watches, personal effects, false teeth,
partial plates, artificial limbs, etc. These may* be placed
In storage vaults, where they might lose their radioactivity
over a given length of time, or decontaminate by soap and eater
or other methods. It might be more expedient in some cases,
i.e., clothing, to destroy them.
While in the decontamination showers, the individual 'will
use at least eight chances of soap and pass through at least
t series of shower sprays in a straight line. The soap
water routine is an excellent method for removal of most
every form of radiological contaminations

Zn the case of a casualty, all contaminated splints dree

shower, and these would be reissued at the point of exit
