Module E (Quizlet 6)
Technical Escort - Radiological Operations
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Negligible risk definition | Acceptable when the mission requires units to operate in a contaminated environment (significant advantages will be gained) |
| Moderate risk definition | Acceptable in close support operations where troops must be able to continuously operate at full efficiency |
| Emergency risk definition | Only acceptable in rare situations termed disaster situations (disaster situation outweighs the radiation emergency risk |
| Periodic monitoring definition | Conducted at defined or predetermined intervals |
| Continuous monitoring definition | Involves uninterrupted surveillance of the area |
| What are the two types of monitoring techniques? | Direct and indirect |
| Direct monitoring definition | Most precise monitoring technique |
| Indirect monitoring definition | Lowers the risk of exposure to personnel |
| What are the two types of radiological surveys? | Ground and aerial |
| What are the advantages of ground surveying? | Done with own equipment, done in any weather, can be done at night and more accurate |
| What are the disadvantages of ground surveying? | Higher risk of exposure rates, lack flexibility, lacks speed and requires more personnel and equipment |
| When are surveys conducted? | After all fallout is complete |
| What is the course leg technique? | Used to find the extent and intensity of radiological contamination |
| What is the preselected dose rate technique? | Old contamination that is greater than the time of attack and neutron-induced radiation |
| What must be determined before conducting any type of rad mission? | Turnback dose and turnback dose rate |
| What are the two types of samples collected after a nuclear blast? | Refractory or volatile |
| What is the composition of refractory samples? | Can handle temp over 1000 degrees F, non-volatile, glass, rocks, fragments of weapon/rocket fuel and heating fuels/fragments for the weapon |
| What is the composition of volatile samples? | Dust, small debris within dirt, pass off readily in form of a vapor, evaporates easily and less likely to maintain its form |
| What are ideal collection locations for refractory samples in urban environments? | Inside of cars and buildings (glass from windows) and top of buildings |
| What are ideal collection locations for refractory samples in rural environments? | Melted material |
