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.

|
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.

AN/PDR-65
|
|
