CD V-777A RADEF Monitoring Support Set
The CD V-777A "RADEF Monitoring Support Set" was a supplemental set to the CD V-777 set. This set was to supplement the CD V-777 set for use in radiological monitoring stations by adding the CD V-717 remote sensor survery meter. The CD V-717 would be used by placing the remote sensor outside the shelter area so outside radiation levels could be monitored without going outside the shelter. Chapter VIII, Annex 1 of DOD, OCD publication SM-11.23.2 "Radiological Defense, Planning and Operations Guide" revised March 1967 lists the contents for a CD V-777A kit as seen above, 1-CD V-700 Geiger counter, 1-CD V-715 Survey Meter, 1-CD V-717 Survey Meter, remote sensor, 3-CD V-742 Dosimeters and 1-CD V-750 Dosimeter Charger. The FEMA publication CPG 2-2 dated Sept 1991 also has a kit contents list for the CD V-777A it's the same as the above list but with 6-CD V-742 Dosimeters instead of 3.

The supplementary set of radiological defense equipment is made availableRADEF MONITORING SUPPORT SET (CD V-777A) FOR OPERATIONAL MONITORING STATIONS to selected operational monitoring stations to accomplish the following objectives: 1. Allow on-station measurement of high radiation dose rates with minimal exposure to monitors. 2. Increase the availability of survey meters to those stations which are assigned extensive mobile monitoring responsibil- ities, or ground support or aerial monitoring operations. This annex contains information on requirements and procedures relating to the availability of the Radef Monitoring Support Set for the operational moni- toring stations. (Kit contents table omitted because of listing above....) To obtain a Radef Monitoring Support Set, CD V-777A, the requirements for obtaining the issue of a Radiological Defense Operational Set, CD V-777, must be met, and in addition: 1. At least four trained radiological monitors for each monitoring station are required. 2. The monitoring station must have a major assignment for mobile monitoring of must be located at or near an airport to support aerial monitoring operations. 3. The monitoring station has a minimum PF of 40 and plans have been established to increase this protection factor to 100 or better. Annex 1 of this chapter, page 8-9, will assist in the evaluation of the protection factor of a facility in those cases where the building has not been surveyed previously under the National Shelter Survey Program. 4. The CD V-717 instrument has not been, and will not be requested for the station. |
