What type of agent is man-made and comes in two types, liquid and vapor?
Chemical
This type of agent classifies into two classes, pathogens and toxins:
Biological
What type of material is defined as "undesireable radioactive material"?
Radiological
This chemical agent is skin hazardous, it enters through the pores in the body or through the eyes.
Liquid
This type of chemical agent enters through the respiratory track.
Vapor
What two methods are used to deploy chemical agents?
Bursting-type munitions or spray devices.
This micro-organism causes diseases in humans, animals and plants.
Pathogens
This organic substance is poisonous to humans and animals and is not a living organism.
Toxins
What is the desired effect of using a biological agent against a ship?
To render the crew unable to effectively complete the ship's mission.
This radiological agent can damage living tissue, but do not have much penetrating power.
X-rays
Layered clothing is adequate protection against this radiological agent. Unless the source is ingested, external burns is about the worst that can happen.
Beta Particles
This radiological agent doesn't travel very far but is a significant internal hazard if it enters the body.
Alpha Radiation
Electromagnetic radiation similar to radio signals. Capable of penetrating a ship's hull and are not stopped by protective clothing. Released in nuclear reactions and radioactive decay.
Gamma Rays
Subatomic particles not released by radioactive decay. Can travel thousands of yards through the air and have a substantial penetrating power. External hazard within the first minute after the burst.
Neutrons
Countermeasure Washdown
External decontamination, mechanical.
4 Zones, purpose is to saturate. 3 ways to light off, bridge, ccs and SOPV's in the p-ways.
Manual method of decontaminating the outside of a ship.
Shipboard personell will utilize brushes and scrub (HTH) and start at the highest point of the ship and work down.
Weathering
Ship will sit out to sea until the contamination wears off either from wind or rain.
Three solvents used to decontaminate an internal area.
HTH (Calcium Hypchlorite)
Bleach
Betadine
Name the five sections of a decontamination station.
CCA (Casualty Control Area)
OCUA (Outer Clothing Undressing Area)
ICUA (Inner Clothing Undressing Area)
Shower
Purge Locker
How many people can be processed through a decom station per hour?
13-15
Boot Wash pan is located in this section of a decom station (ten second wash time)
Casualty Control Area
Area of the decom station where the outer clothing is removed
OCUA (Outer Clothing Undressing Area)
Area of the decom station where everything but the gas mask is removed.
ICUA (Inner Clothing Undressing Area)
Area of the decom station where cold sea water or fresh water is utilized to decontaminate the body.
Shower
Area of the decom station where medical personell inspect for proper decontamination.
Purge Locker
Hand-held electronic monitoring device that detects all forms of radation. (Used internally)
Located in Repair Lockers
Uses 2 D-cell batteries
AN/PDQ-1
- Used for the detection and measurement of high range gamma radiation.
- 0-10,000 roetengens
- Located on the bridge, probes located on the mast.
- Uses 5 C-cell batteries, lasts 20 hours (when not connected to ship's power)
- 2 parts: Intensity meter and dosimeter
AN/PDR-65
M-256 Chemical Detection Kit
- Detects Nerve, blood and blister agents
- Takes approximately 17 minutes to detect an agent.
- Kit comes in a small green box and contains: 12 kits, M8 paper and an instruction booklet.
M-8 paper
- 25 perforated sheets
- Detects liquid nerve agents
- Specific - shows you exactly what agent it is reading
- 20 second detection time.
M-8 paper turns green
v-nerve
M-8 paper turns yellow
G nerve
M-8 paper turns red
H blister
M-9 paper
- 30ft long by 2 inches
- Self adhesive
- Detects liquid nerve agents
- Not specific - all agents show up as red.
- 10 second detection time
IPDS (Improved Point Detection System)
- Detects chemical agents
- Located on the bridge and in CCS
Name the parts and locations of IPDS
- EASU (External Air Sampling Unit) - 2 of them, located in director room.
- DU (Detector Unit) - Takes samples outside from the port and starboard bridge wings.
- RDU (Remote Display Unit) - Located on the bridge. Displays the type of chemical agent is has detected. Also has a local alarm.
- CDU (Control Display Unit) - Located in CCS, has a local alarm. Displays the type of agent it has detected.
What is used to collect air samples?
DFU 1000 (Dry Filter Unit) - Portable continuous sampler, collects/traps airborne particles for analysis by a HHA (Hand-Held Assay)
What is the filter rate for the DFU?
1000 liters/minute
How many sampling slots does the HHA (Hand-Held Assay) have?
8
What does the HHA (Hand-Held Assay) test for and what is done in the event it's found?
The presence of biological agents (presense or lack of presence). Package it and send it off the ship to a confirmatory lab and notify Chain of Command.
Where would you find instructions for setting up a decontamination station?
