their decontamination
o Maintain a record of radiation exposures received by personnel.
The Site Monitoring Group monitored the radiation exposures of
personnel in the test area. The time spent by personnel in radiation
areas was limited, and radiation detection instruments were provided
to permit continuous monitoring of exposure rates. In many cases, a
