Dispersing radiation for Nuwax-81 exercise

admin — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 08:01:46 +0000

This is clipped from the 1982 Defense Department film, NUWAX-81 Documentary Nuclear Weapon Accident Exercise. This clip shows the spraying of short-lived radioisotopes via an agricultural sprayer to a localized area to simulate contamination by weapons-grade plutonium.
The Nuclear Weapons Accident Exercise (NUWAX-81) was conducted in April 1981 jointly by the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of Energy (DOE) at the DOE’s Nevada test site and included FEMA and the State of California. The six day exercise scenario involved a simulated crash of an U.S. Army helicopter transporting nuclear weapons to a storage site. Aircraft parts and pieces of inert nuclear training weapons were prepositioned at the site. Short-lived radioisotopes, radium-223 and mercury-197, were distributed via an agricultural sprayer to a localized area to simulate contamination by weapons-grade plutonium. More than 600 accident response personnel participated in the exercise. The major objectives were to exercise and evaluate the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s interface with DOD, the command and control of the joint DOD-DOE response forces, and the coordination of their technical and logistical support. The exercise aroused greater awareness within federal and state governments of the need to plan and coordinate response procedures and to practice these procedures and was followed up by additional exercises. The entire film, NUWAX-81 Documentary Nuclear Weapon Accident Exercise, has been digitized by the nonprofit Public.Resource.Org (http://public.resource.org/index.html ) in a cooperative agreement with the National Technical Information Service (http://public.resource.org/ntis.gov/index.html ) and is available at the Internet Archive at www.archive.com .

Nerve Agent History WWII

admin — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 11:09:03 +0000

First discovered accidentally during the 1930s by industrial chemists in Germany conducting pesticide research, the nerve agents Tabun (GA) and Sarin (GB) were developed into chemical weapons and stockpiled by the Nazi regime. Fortunately, Hitler did not order their use during World War II because German intelligence believed–incorrectly–that the United States and the Soviet Union had developed similar weapons. After the war, the victorious Allies competed among themselves for the secrets of the Nazi nerve agent program. In the early 1950s, British industrial scientists accidentally discovered a second generation of nerve agents that were even more toxic than Sarin and were dubbed “V agents” because of their venomous (skin-penetrating) properties. During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union pursued a chemical arms race in which they produced and stockpiled various nerve agents in the thousands of tons. For a detailed history for the general reader of the discovery, development, proliferation, and control of nerve agents such as Tabun, Sarin, Soman, and VX, read the 2006 book, War of Nerves: Chemical Warfare from World War I to Al-Qaeda, By Jonathan B. Tucker. During the 1960s, ocean dumping, openpit burning, and land burials were the U.S. Armys method of destroying chemical weapons. In 1969, the National Academy of Sciences recommended that ocean dumping be avoided. In the late 1960s President Nixon halts the production of chemical weapons. In 1972, the Army formed the U.S. Army Materiel Commands Program Manager for Demilitarization of Chemical Materiel, headquartered at Picatinny Arsenal, near Dover, NJ. The Army developed chemical weapons disposal methods using incineration and chemical neutralization. Project Eagle incinerates six million pounds of mustard agent and neutralizes eight million pounds of nerve agent GB (sarin) at Rocky Mountain Arsenal, Colo. between 1972 and 1976. Today, The U.S. Army’s Chemical Materials Agency (CMA) safely stores and destroys the nation’s aging chemical weapons and recovers the nation’s chemical warfare materials. The agency is based at the Edgewood Area of the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, while other managers and staff fulfill the agency’s mission from weapons storage and disposal at locations across the county. For more on the CMA, link to their website at http://www.cma.army.mil/home.aspx . This clip is from the 1963 film, Nerve Agents, available at the national Archives. The film is from the U. S. Army Training Film series on the features and tactical use of GA (tabun), GB (sarin), and V-class nerve agents as munitions for chemical warfare. Explains how the nerve gas agents enter the human body and the symptoms of poisoning, and shows the protective and first-aid measures that may be taken against them.

Decontamination of Ships after an Atomic Test Bikini Atoll 1946

admin — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 08:11:34 +0000

This clip shows efforts after the BAKER test to decontaminate navy ships. Operation Crossroads was an atmospheric nuclear weapon test series conducted in the summer of 1946. The series consisted of two detonations, each with a yield of 23 kilotons: ABLE detonated at an altitude of 520 feet (158 meters) on 1 July and BAKER detonated 90 feet (27 meters) underwater on 25 July. This clip is from after the BAKER test. The detonation of BAKER caused most of the target fleet to be bathed in radioactive water spray and radioactive debris from the lagoon bottom. . The test produced a radioactive mist that deposited active products on the target fleet in amounts far greater than had been predicted. As the Joint Chiefs of Staff evaluation board later noted, the contaminated ships “became radioactive stoves, and would have burned all living things aboard them with invisible and painless but deadly radiation.” With the exception of 12 target vessels anchored in the array and the landing craft beached on Bikini Island, the target fleet remained too radiologically contaminated for several weeks for more than brief on-board activities. The inability to complete inspections on much of the target fleet threatened the success of the operation after BAKER . A program of target vessel decontamination was begun in earnest about 1 August. This involved washing the ships’ exteriors using work crews drawn from the target ships’ companies under radiological supervision of monitors equipped with radiation detection and measurement devices. Initially, decontamination was slow as the safe time aboard the target ships was measured only in minutes. As time progressed, the support fleet itself had become contaminated by the low-level radioactivity in marine growth on the ships’ hulls and seawater piping systems. By 10 August, a decision was made to stop work in Bikini and tow the surviving target fleet to Kwajalein Atoll where the work could be done in uncontaminated water. The move was accomplished during the remainder of August and September. A major task at Kwajalein was to offload ammunition stored aboard the target ships. this work continued into the fall of 1946. Personnel continued to work on target ships at Kwajalein into 1947. Eight of the major ships and two submarines were towed back to the United States and Hawaii for radiological inspection. Twelve target ships were so lightly contaminated that they were remanned and sailed back to the United States by their crews. The remaining target ships were destroyed by sinking off Bikini Atoll, off Kwajalein Atoll, or near the Hawaiian Islands during 1946-1948. The support ships were decontaminated as necessary and received a radiological clearance before they could return to the fleet. This decontamination and clearance process required a great deal of experimentation and learning at Navy shipyards in the United States, primarily at San Francisco. All CROSSROADS operations were undertaken under radiological supervision intended to keep personnel from being exposed to more than 0.1 roentgen (R) per day. At the time, this was considered to be an amount of radiation that could be tolerated for long periods without any harmful effects on health. For more on this, go to http://www.hss.energy.gov/healthsafety/ohre/index.html .

Respirator or Surgical Mask Confusion or Why Healthcare Providers Need Occupational Health Training

admin — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 09:00:20 +0000

A surgical mask is not a respirator and that’s an important distinction for physicians and all healthcare workers to understand. Unfortunately many healthcare employers and Infection Preventionist do not understand this important fact. Several reports from the US Institute of Medicine (IOM) over the past few years have address this and related issues. For the details of this debate, go to the 2009 IOM report at http://www.iom.edu/~/media/Files/Report%20Files/2009/RespProtH1N1/H1N1%20report%20brief%20FINAL%20for%20web.ashx . It is important that healthcare employers and workers understand the significant differences between these two types of personal protective equipment. The decision whether or not to require workers to use either surgical masks or respirators must be based upon a hazard analysis of the workers’ specific work environments and the different protective properties of each type of personal protective equipment. Respirators are designed to reduce a worker’s exposure to airborne contaminants. Respirators come in various sizes and must be individually selected to fit the wearer’s face and to provide a tight seal. A proper seal between the user’s face and the respirator forces inhaled air to be pulled through the respirator’s filter material and not through gaps between the face and respirator. Surgical masks are used as a physical barrier to protect the user from hazards, such as splashes of large droplets of blood or body fluids. Surgical masks also protect other people against infection from the person wearing the surgical mask. Such masks trap large particles of body fluids that may contain bacteria or viruses expelled by the wearer. Surgical masks are not designed or certified to prevent the inhalation of small airborne contaminants. An OSHA video describing the differences is found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovSLAuY8ib8 . All workers have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. Whenever respiratory protection is required to be worn to protect from hazardous airborne contaminants, the employer is responsible for implementing a comprehensive respiratory protection program and providing an appropriate respirator, in accordance with OSHAs respiratory protection standard, 29 CFR 1910.134. This program must include training, medical evaluation, and fit testing. When workers must wear a respirator to protect against airborne contaminants in the workplace, it is very important to follow proper procedures for putting it on and taking it off. For more on this important issues for healthcare, go to the OSHA factsheet, Respiratory Infection Control:Respirators Versus Surgical Masks at https://www.osha.gov/Publications/respirators-vs-surgicalmasks-factsheet.html . This is clipped from the 2000 video Biological Warfare and Terrorism: The Military and Public Health Response produced by the Department of the Army and the Food and Drug Administration.

Swine Flu: USA is Spraying Afrika’s Skies

admin — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 10:53:04 +0000

“Look up! Look up!” When you look up into the sky you will often notice “vapor” trails, but it is not vapor that you’re looking at. Research “chemtrails” and you’ll find a deep winding rabbit hole. In the summer of 2009, Nigeria was tipped off by Chinese Intelligence that the United States of America was spraying Afrikan airspace with biological or chemical weapons. Nigeria grounded the aircraft and arrested the pilot and crew. Afrika is a testing ground for biological and chemical weapons but no matter where you are, there is a global war being waged against your mind and body and those of your loved ones. Welcome to the World War Zero: The Slow War.
