This .guide is intended to assist the student in planning, developing, implementing and operating a local, county, or state radiological defense (RADEF) system. The state and local radiological defense program objectives are to create an effective and operationally ready radiological monitoring, reporting and evaluating system required to provide accurate and 'timely information on the extent, intensity and duration of radiological fallout hazards that could result from a nuclear attack. The guide contains the following chapters: (1)RADEF fundamentals (knowledge concerning fallout;(2) RADEF plans and organizations;(3) Implementation of RADEF plans including emergency operating center functions; (4) Monitoring and survey procedures; (5) Radiological reporting procedures;(6) AppliCation of meteorological data to RADEF;(7) Instrumentation, maintenance and calibration; (8) Radiological equipment available to states fOr civil defense purposes;(9) Handbook for radiological monitors;(10) Peacetime radiological incidents;(11) Fallout Directory; and (12) Decontamination and related countermeasures.

The Introduction is a reprint of Part E, Chapter 5. Chapters 1 through 11 are reprints of the corresponding appendices to FG-E-5. Chapter 12 is a reprint of Appendix 1 to Part E, Chapter 7. This Guide is intended to assist the student in planning, developing, implementing, and operating a local, county,'or State radiological defense system. The Introduction and Chapters (FG Appendices) 1,2, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11 and 12 have been published and are OCD policy. Chapters (FG Appendices) 3, 4, 7, 8, and the Annexes to each Chapter are reprints of draft materials which have been prepared for internal staffing and clearance by OCD.These Chapters may NOT necessarily reflect the final OCD policy in these areas.As the draft Appendices of the Federal Civil Defense Guide are finalized and published, they should be substituted for the corresponding chapters in this Guide. In order to conserve space, the format used in this Guide varies slightly from that in the Federal Civil Defense Guide. Minor additions and deletions have been made. The material is the most valid available as of March 1, 1967. Updating will be done through instruction, and through the regular Federal Guide distribution channels as new appendices are published. 4 iii CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION 1 CHAPTER I RADEF FUNDAMENTALS 1-1 CHAPTER II RADEFTLANS AND ORGANIZATION 2-1 Annex 1 Illustrative Outline, Local Radiological Service Plan 2-7 Annex 2 Coordinated Functions, County Radef - Representatives of USDA 2-26 CHAPTER III IMPLEMENTATION OF RADEF PLANS INCLUDING EMERGENCY OPERATING CENTER FUNCTIONS 4 3-1 Annex 1 Planning and Developing an Aerial Survey Capability 3-40 Annex 2 Plan for the Emergency Use of Non-Air-Carrier Aircraft to Support Selected Civil Defense Operations 3-49 Annex 3 Radiological Service Forms and Markers 3-57 Annex 4 Sample Emergency Information Fallout Advisories 3-64 Annex 5 Sample Condensed Table to Show Radef Communi- cations Traffic 3-78 Annex 6 Technical Guidance - Dose Rate and Dose Calculations 3-80 CHAPTER IV MONITORING AND SURVEY PROCEDURES 4-1 CHAPTER V RADIOLOGICAL REPORTING PROCEDURES 5-1 Annex 1 The Representative Dose Rate Concept 5-11 Annex 2 Assigned Three-Letter Designators for State Reporting of Fallout Information 5-13 CHAPTER VI APPLICATION OF METEOROLOGICAL DATA TO RADEF 6-1 Annex 1 Dimensions of Hypothetical Dose Rate.

PROBABLE POSTATTACK FALLOUT CONDITIONS In the event of a nuclear attack on the United States, fallout radiation in varying degrees will be present in many areas of the country. The extent and intensity of the fallout contamination will depend upon the total weight and distribution of the attack; the design of the weapons; the wind and weather; the type of soil and the topography. Under various wind and attack situations, any area of the country could experience a serious fallout situation. For example, after a rather heavy attack upon counterforce, industrial and population objectives, survivors might require fallout shelter for periods up to 2 days in about 25 percent of theNation's area, Shelter occupancy for periods of 2 days to 2 weeks might be required in 50 percent of the Nation's area and, in the remaining 25 percent of the national area, 2 weeks of shelter occupancy followed by the application of additional countermeasures such as remedial movement of the populace or extensivedecontamination could be required. Protection of the people, early recovery of vital facilities, and recovery and rehabilitation can be accomplished only through an organized capability 'of detecting, monitoring, reporting and analysis of the fallout situation at each affected locality. Radiation measuring and detection instruments in the hands of trained personnel are the only means of gaining reasonably accurate information of the fallout radiation level at a given time at a geographic location since the levels of radiation will vary geographically, even in small areas. Therefore, an organized capability of detecting, measuring and reporting levels of fallout radiation is needed to furnish information to authorities at all levels of government as a basis for making decisions affecting: 1. The period of shelter occupancy. 2. Restoration of vital facilities and obtaining needed
