RADIOLOGICAL RECOVERY REQUIREMENTS, STRUCTURES, AND OPERATIONS RESEARCH. VOLUME 1. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

This study examines the application of decontamination strategies to extensive urban areas. Urban areas of various sizes from a few acres to an interconnected system involving hundreds of acres are examined with regard to decontaminating vital sections and their connecting links. The task of creating decontaminated islands or marshalling areas is determined to be feasible. The nature and scope of command and control system elements required for conducting effective decontamination is practical situations is determined together with the preattack and postattack data required by such a system. Several models were developed during the course of the project and are discussed.
