Missions  tasked  for  multiple  levels  will  include  a  tasking  identifier  for  each  level. 
b.  Tasking  expiration  -  All  mission  tasking  messages,  except  for  P-2  sorties,  will  contain 
a  tasking  expiration  time.     This  time  will  be  based  on  the  criteria  listed  in  paragraph  2-5 
below.    Tasking  will  expire  if  the  AOI  has  not  begun  by  the  expiration  time. 
2-5.    Mission  Accomplishment  Data.    To  aid  in  the  evaluation  of  mission  effectiveness,  field 
units  will  provide  full  details  concerning  all  sorties  which  do  not  meet  full  mission  objec- 
tives as  stated  in  HQ  AFTAC  tasking.    Reporting  will  be  via  PROREP  procedures  as  set  forth  in 
Chapter  11.    Final  determination  of  mission  non-accomplishment  rests  solely  with  HQ  AFTAC.     HQ 
AFTAC/DOR  will  maintain  records  to  indicate  mission  degradation  (DMA)  or  non-accomplishment 
(MNA).    HQ  AFTAC  will  use  the  following  criteria  to  determine  DMA/MNA. 
a.    PI,  P2,  P3,  S,  D,  B  sorties  -    When  less  than  the  required  AOI  is  covered  (as  deter- 
mined by  HQ  AFTAC)  or  the  sortie  is  not  flown  within  the  time  specified  below,  an  MNA  will  be 
assigned. 
(1)  PI,  P3,  S,  and  0  sorties  -  When  the  start  of  the  AOI  coverage  is  not  within  *  12 
hours  of  the  time  tasked  by  HQ  AFTAC,  an  MNA  will  be  assigned.  ~ 
(2)  P2  Sorties: 
(a)  Degraded  Mission  Accomplishment  (DMA)  -  When  the  start  of  the  AOI  coverage  is 
not  within  minus  30  minutes/plus  one  hour  of  the  time  originally  tasked  by  HQ  AFTAC  or  an  AFTAC 
field  unit,  a  DMA  is  charged.  A  DMA  will  be  charged  if  the  IP  time  Is  not  within  minus  30 
minutes/plus  one  hour  based  on  the  original  time  even  if  new  AOIs  and  IP  times  have  been 
planned  due  to  mission  delays.  Changes  caused  by  SUPA  changes  will  not  be  charged  as  DMA. 
NOTE:  Due  to  the  time  critical  nature  of  P-2  sorties,  every  effort  should  be  made  to  launch  as 
close  to  schedule  as  possible. 
(b)  Mission  Non-accomplishment  (MNA)  -  If  the  aircraft  cannot  reach  the  IP  within 
12  hours  of  tasked  time,  an  MNA  will  be  assigned.  P-2  tasking  will  expire  12  hours  after  the 
IP  time  originally  specified  by  the  field  unit  planning  the  mission.  MNA  data  for  P-2s  will  be 
based  on  the  original  IP  time  even  If  a  new  IP  time  and  track  is  developed  due  to  a  delay. 
(3)  Background  (B)  Sorties. 
(a)  When  the  start  of  the  AOI  coverage  Is  not  within  -24  hours/+48  hours  of  the 
time  tasked  by  HQ  AFTAC,  an  MNA  will  be  assigned.  Exception:  Southern  Hemisphere/Indian  Ocean 
backgrounds:  When  the  start  of  the  AOI  is  not  within  +  120  hours  of  the  time  tasked  by  HQ 
AFTAC,  an  MNA  will  be  assigned.  "  ~ 
(b)  E  Sorties  -  If  the  aircraft  Is  not  on  station  for  the  entire  tasked  window  a 
DMA  will  be  assigned.  If  the  aircraft  doesn't  cover  any  of  the  tasked  window  or  is  not  on  sta- 
tion for  an  event  during  the  tasked  window  an  MNA  will  be  assigned. 
(c)  V  Sorties  -  MNA  criteria  will  be  included  in  the  implementing  directives. 
(d)  D  Sortie  Standbys  -  If  a  mission  capable  aircraft  Is  not  available  or  capable 
of  takeoff  at  the  required  tine  (ref  USAF  Constant  Dome  Plan)  an  MNA  will  be  assigned.  A 
launch  order  is  not  required  to  assign  an  MNA. 
(e)  Other  -  If  the  aircraft  Is  not  available/capable  of  supporting  tasked  trainers, 
etc,  an  MNA  will  be  assigned  for  each  lost  sortie. 
2-6.  Abbreviations.  In  addition  to  the  abbreviations  authorized  by  AFM  11-2,  the  following 
abbreviations  peculiar  to  AFTAC  sampling  operations  are  authorized:

CENR  55-3    25  July  1986  3-3 
a.  Atmospheric  Nuclear  Events.  Part  1  of  the  first  SUPA  for  an  atmospheric  event  will  be 
transmitted  as  soon  as  possible  following  alert  initiation  to  facilitate  mission  planning. 
Remaining  parts  will  follow  as  soon  as  they  are  completed  by  WE.  Part  1  of  subsequent  SUPAs 
will  be  transmitted  twice  daily  at  times  specified  in  close  coordination  between  AFTAC/DOR  and 
WE  to  best  support  field  planning  requirements. 
b.  Underground  Nucl ear/Sped al  Events.  SUPA  messages,  when  required,  will  be  transmitted 
either  once  or  twice  a  day.  The  initial  once  per  day  SUPAs  will  be  sent  no  later  than  0000Z 
and  contain  debris  trajectories  developed  from  previous  data.  If  a  P-2  sortie  requirement 
exists,  twice  daily  SUPA  transmissions  will  begin  when  a  debris  trajectory  1s  forecast  to  move 
into  an  accessible  sampling  area  within  72  hours.  The  initial  twice  daily  SUPAs  will  be  sent 
no  later  than  1200Z  and  0000Z.  When  a  debris  trajectory  is  forecast  to  move  into  an  accessible 
sampling  area  within  36  hours  and  a  P-2  requirement  exists,  the  SUPAs  will  be  transmitted  at 
times  specified  in  coordination  between  DOR  and  WE  to  support  field  mission  planning  require- 
ments. If  a  P-2  requirement  1s  deleted  prior  to  the  trajectory  reaching  the  36  hour  forecast 
accessibility  point,  DOR  will  usually  direct  SUPA  transmissions  to  stop  and  establish  P-3 
requirements.  WE  will  continue  to  follow  the  debris  trajectories  in-house  and  use  various  ana- 
lytical techniques  to  determine  when/where  air  possibly  containing  debris  may  reach  an 
accessible  sampling  area. 
c.  Message  Processing.  DOR  will  monitor  adequacy  of  SUPA  transmissions.  Delay  and/or 
nonreceipt  of  a  SUPA  should  be  reported  via  telecon  to  this  HQ  (DOR/WE).  WE  will  coordinate 
any  significant  SUPA  addition  or  forecast  change  with  the  on-site  forecasters  and,  if 
necessary,  transmit  a  follow-up  message  titled: 
SUPA   FOR  ALERT   AMENDED

Chapter  4 
INFLIGHT  OPERATING  TECHNIQUES 
4-1.  Purpose.  This  chapter  establishes  the  basic  techniques,  procedures,  criteria,  and 
inflight  reports  used  by  SEOs  on  sorties  flown  for  Special,  Domestic,  Maritime,  and 
Miscellaneous  Sampling  Operations.  Standard  terms  used  while  performing  assigned  duties  are 
also  defined. 
4-2.  Definition  of  Terms: 
a.  Area-of-Interest  (AOI).  That  portion  of  the  flight  track  which  affords  the  best  proba- 
bility of  debris  collection.  It  consists  of  time,  area,  and  altitude  (planned  sampling  alti- 
tude plus  or  minus  2000  feet  to  compensate  for  Air  Traffic  Control  flight  restrictions,  weather 
deviations,  etc.). 
b.  Decay  Check.  A  timed  check  of  an  exposed  filter  paper  to  distinguish  between  natural 
and  man-made  radioactivity. 
c.  IFP  Sample  (Except  PONY  EXPRESS).  Two  simultaneous  filter  papers  of  30  minutes  dura- 
tion (atmospheric)  or  60  minutes  duration  (underground),  and  concurrent  pairs  of  30  minute 
spheres.  Paper  duration  will  coincide  with  the  time  required  to  pump  the  appropriate  sphere 
sets.  A  minimum  of  one  IFP  sample  should  be  collected  from  each  IFP  contact.  Additional  IFP 
samples  should  be  collected  from  any  area  that  produces  an  increase  in  the  rate  of  collection 
(as  indicated  by  an  increase  in  the  rate  of  rise  of  the  B/400A  readings). 
d.  Short  Duration  Exposure  (SDE).  A  U-l  filter  paper  exposed  for  a  period  not  to  exceed 
one  hour.  When  collected  simultaneously  with  whole-air  samples,  the  SDE  will  correspond  with 
two  sets  of  sequentially  pumped  spheres. 
e.  Long  Duration  Exposure  (LDE).  U-l  filter  paper  exposed  for  a  period  not  to  exceed 
three  hours  or  three  sequential  SDEs.  LDE  coverage  should  be  planned  to  cover  equal  segments 
of  the  track.  Within  AOIs  plan  LDE  changes  to  coincide  with  SDE  changes. 
f.  Thirty -Minute  Spheres.  Whole-air  samples  collected  by  pumping  one  or  more  spheres 
simultaneously.  If  spheres  rated  to  3000psi  are  used,  one  compressor  will  be  activated  for 
each  sphere  being  pumped.  If  spheres  rated  to  1500psi  are  used,  one  compressor  will  be  acti- 
vated for  each  pair  of  spheres  being  pumped.  In  order  to  allow  for  inherent  variations  in  pump 
rates  and  times,  and  still  retain  filter  paper/whole-air  sample  correlation,  spheres  will  be 
pumped  a  maximum  of  30  minutes  or  until  cut-off,  whichever  occurs  first. 
4-3.  Collection  Procedures.  Collection  procedures  are  divided  into  two  parts.  Enroute 
to/returning  from  the  AOI  and  within  the  AOI. 
a.  Enroute  to/Returning  from  the  AOI.  Sampling  is  required  enroute  to  and  returning  from 
the  AOI.  Exposure  patterns  are  as  follows: 
(1)  Begin  FI-2  exposure  at  2000  feet  (AGL)  on  initial  climb-out  and  terminate  at  2000 
feet  (AGL)  on  final  descent.  FI-2  changes  will  be  made  at  the  discretion  of  the  SEO.  If  a  U-l 
foil  malfunctions,  the  SEO  should  consider  using  the  FI-2  as  a  supplementary  sampling  foil 
using  the  exposure  criteria  for  the  U-l  foil.  Turn  in  all  exposed  1-2  papers  to  the  labora- 
tory. 
(2)  Begin  a  single  LDE  at  level  off.  LDE  coverage  should  be  planned  to  cover  equal 
segments  of  the  enroute/return  track.  Terminate  LDE  upon  start  of  final  descent. 
b.  Exposure  within  the  AOI: 
(1)  Particulate  and  whole-air  collection  requirements  are  covered  in  chapters  for  each 
specific  type  of  operation. 
(2)  For  altitude  deviations  from  the  AOI  (climbs  or  descents  exceeding  planned  alti- 
tude by  2000  feet),  stop  collecting  particulate  and  whole-air  samples  and: 
(a)  Use  LDE  coverage  until  returning  to  the  AOI  if  a  long  delay  is  anticipated. 
Upon  returning  to  the  AOI,  start  new  particulate  and  whole-air  samples.
4-2  CENR  55-3         25  July   1986 
(b)     Use  FI-2  exposure  for  short  delays;  e.g.,  navigator  celestial  observations. 
Upon  returning  to  the  AOI,  continue  the  samples  started  prior  to  the  deviation  and  terminate 
them  when  appropriate  exposure  parameters  are  met.     Annotate  forms  to  document  the  exposure 
break. 
4-4.     Intercept  Procedures.     Normally  the  D-500  will  provide  the  first  indication  of  debris. 
When  an  increase  in  the  D-500  gross  rate  is  observed,  check  the  directional   indicators  to 
determine  the  relative  location  of  the  debris.     Vector  the  aircraft  in  the  indicated  direction 
until  contact  with  the  debris  has  been  established,  indicated  by  an  abrupt  gross  rate  increase 
on  the  B/400A. 
NOTE:     0-500  directional  indications  are  relative  to  the  aircraft  floor;  therefore,  changes  in 
aircraft  attitude  must  be  taken  into  consideration. 
a.  A  gross  rate  increase  of  two  or  more  divisions,  with  accompanying  directional   indica- 
tions, should  be  considered  as  significant  and  investigated. 
b.  If  gross  rate  indications  do  not  increase  with  a  maximum  climb/descent  of  5000  feet  or 
a  lateral  movement  of  20  nautical  miles  on  either  side  of  the  flight  track,  return  to  the  ori- 
ginal flight  track.    These  restrictions  do  not  apply  1f  the  gross  rate  Increases.     The  limits  of 
deviations  from  planned  tracks  can  vary  with  unique  situations. 
c.  Normally,  a  rapid  increase  In  the  amount  of  radioactivity  measured  by  the  B-400A  indi- 
cates a  positive  contact  with  the  debris.     The  following  steps  outline  the  procedures  to  be 
followed  upon  contact: 
(1)  Cross-check  B/400A  readings  and  D-500  indications. 
(2)  Note  aircraft  position  and  flight  level  winds. 
(3)  Vector  the  aircraft  to  the  area  of  highest  intensity,  using  D-500  gross  rate  and 
directional  indications. 
(4)  Establish  an  orbit,  allowing  the  aircraft  to  drift  with  the  wind. 
(5)  Collect  IFP  sample(s)  of  appropriate  duration. 
NOTE:     Adjust  the  orbit  in  response  to  B400A/D-500  Indications;  however,  attempt  to  keep  the 
aircraft  within  the  debris  cloud  while  collecting  IFP  samples. 
(6)  Transmit  an  inflight  contact  report. 
(7)  Initiate  a  decay  check,  as  required. 
4-5.     Reintercept  Procedures.     If  contact  with  a  debris  cloud  is  lost  during  a  suspected  con- 
tact, the  navigator  can  assist  in  vectoring  the  aircraft  back  to  a  point  where  reintercept  is 
planned.    Maximum  utilization  of  the  D-500  to  reintercept  the  debris  cloud  may  minimize  the 
necessity  of  using  the  following  search  patterns: 
a.  Initiate  an  orbit  at  the  point  where  the  navigator  expects  reintercept,  even  if  detec- 
tion equipment  indications  are  negative.     If  positive  contact  has  not  been  established  after 
one  complete  orbit,  reverse  the  orbit. 
b.  If  positive  contact  is  not  established  after  reversing  the  orbit  and: 
(1)  If  D-500  is  operational,  Initiate  an  expanding-box  starch  pattern. 
(2)  If  D-500  is  not  operational,  climb/descend  (in  orbit  at  500  feet  per  minute) 
covering  a  minimum  of  2000  feet  above  and  below  original  contact  altitude.     If  positive  contact 
is  not  established,  return  to  original  contact  altitude  and  initiate  an  expanding-box  search 
pattern. 
c.  The  expanding-box  search  pattern  is  accomplished  by  flying  a  series  of  legs  turning  90 
degrees  in  the  same  direction  after  each  leg.     The  first  two  legs  should  be  2  minutes  1n 
length,  the  third  and  fourth  should  be  4  minutes  in  length,  and  the  fifth  leg  should  be  6 
minutes  in  length.     If  positive  contact  is  not  established,  proceed  to  a  point  known  to  be  down 
wind  and  ahead  of  the  suspected  position  of  the  debris  cloud  and  establish  a  sawtooth  search 
pattern.
CENR  55-3    25  July  1986  4-3 
d.  The  sawtooth  search  pattern  consists  of  a  series  of  legs  going  back  and  forth  across 
the  wind  flow,  with  each  leg  angled  slightly  upwind. 
4-6.  Cloud  Sizing.  Cloud  sizing  is  used  to  determine  the  physical  size  of  a  debris  cloud.  If 
directed  to  size  a  cloud  use  the  following  procedures: 
a.  Horizontal  sizing  is  accomplished  by  flying  either  up  or  down  wind  while  in  contact 
with  the  debris  cloud.  Upon  exiting  the  cloud,  as  indicated  on  the  B-400A,  execute  a  90/270 
turn  and  note  the  time  contact  is  re-established.  Continue  flying  along  the  wind  axis  until 
contact  is  lost  and  note  this  time.  The  total  time  in  contact  with  the  cloud,  in  hours, 
multiplied  by  the  TAS  will  give  you  the  dimension  along  with  wind  axis  In  nautical  miles.  To 
obtain  the  other  horizontal  dimension  execute  another  90/270  turn  and  reenter  the  cloud.  When 
you  reach  the  center,  determined  by  flying  one  half  the  time  it  took  to  fly  through  the  entire 
cloud,  execute  a  90  degree  turn.  Continue  on  this  heading  until  contact  is  lost.  Execute  a 
90/270  turn,  re-enter  the  cloud  and  continue  as  described  above  to  determine  the  dimension  of 
the  cloud  perpendicular  to  the  wind  axis. 
b.  Vertical  Sizing.  To  determine  the  vertical  size  of  the  cloud  return  to  the  approximate 
center  of  the  cloud  after  performing  the  horizontal  measurements.  Establish  an  orbit  in  the 
cloud's  center  and  begin  a  descent  at  500  feet  per  minute.  When  contact  with  the  cloud  is  lost 
as  determined  by  the  B-400A  begin  a  climb  at  500  ft  per  minute.  Note  the  altitude  where  contact 
is  reestablished  and  continue  until  contact  is  lost  and  note  the  altitude.  This  will  determine 
the  vertical  dimension  of  the  cloud. 
4-7.  Decay  Check  Procedures.  The  half-life  of  natural  radioactivity  (Pb214  most  commonly 
observed)  is  approximately  30  minutes  and  a  timed  check  of  an  exposed  filter  paper  will 
distinguish  between  natural  and  fission  products.  The  decay  check  is  conducted  at  the  SEO's 
discretion  and  is  accomplished  as  follows: 
a.  Record  background  readings  of  the  decay  check  tube  prior  to  beginning,  and  after 
completion  of  the  decay  check. 
b.  Place  the  exposed  FI-2  paper  in  the  decay  check  assembly. 
c.  The  initial  reading  should  indicate  the  maximum  meter  deflection  without  pegging  the 
meter,  on  the  highest  scale  attainable.  This  may  be  accomplished  by  changing  B/400A  range 
switch  and  moving  the  filter  paper  in  relation  to  the  Geiger  Mueller  tube. 
d.  Record  the  indication  on  the  Rustrak  tape  and  note  the  time  and  scale/division  on  the 
CEN  Form  47. 
NOTE:  Exercise  care  to  ensure  that  the  same  B-400A  scale  is  used  for  all  readings  and  that  the 
filter  paper  is  not  moved  after  the  initial  readings  have  been  recorded. 
e.  To  establish  a  valid  decay  check,  a  minimum  of  three  CRM  readings  (excluding  the  ini- 
tial reading)  are  taken  at  20  minute  intervals. 
f .  SEOs  should  interpret  a  SOS  decrease  in  observed  B/400A  readings  as  indicative  of  the 
decay  of  natural  radioactivity.  If  the  indications  stay  approximately  the  same,  or  decrease 
less  than  50%,  fresh  fission  products  are  probably  present. 
NOTE:  Be  sure  to  consider  background  readings  when  determining  percent  of  decay. 
4-8.  Air  Refueling  and  Fuel  Dumping  Procedures.

SPECIAL  OPERATIONS 
5-1.  Purpose.  This  chapter  specifies  sortie  profiles  and  collection  criteria  used  for  sorties 
flown  against  foreign  nuclear  atmospheric  and  underground  events. 
5-2.  Sortie  Profiles.  SPECIAL  OPERATIONS  are  required  to  collect  samples  of  particulate  and 
gaseous  debris  resulting  from  foreign  nuclear  events.  These  operations  are  normally  conducted 
in  three  phases. 
a.  Phase  One  (P-l)  background  sorties  are  Initiated  whenever  there  is  a  requirement  to 
determine  the  particulate  and/or  gaseous  background  levels  in  the  atmosphere.  These  sorties 
are  flown  prior  to  the  debris  reaching  an  accessible  sampling  area.  Flights  will  normally 
cover  a  standard  millibar  level  on  a  single  track  extending  500  to  1000  nautical  miles  on 
either  side  of  a  selected  point  within  the  primary  sampling  area.  The  midpoint  of  the  track  1s 
determined  by  the  forecast  path  of  the  suspected  debris  parcel  at  the  specific  altitude  of 
interest.  P-l  sorties  may  be  required  at  one  or  more  millibar  levels  24  to  48  hours  prior  to 
the  arrival  of  the  debris.  Mission  timing,  millibar  levels(s),  and  AOI(s)  will  be  determined  by 
this  headquarters. 
b.  Phase  Two  (P-2)  trajectory  oriented  sorties  will  be  initiated  against  the  trajectories 
indicated  by  SUPA.  Sortie  requirements  at  each  millibar  level  will  be  determined  by  this  head- 
quarters. The  flight  track  and  timing  will  be  determined  by  field  units  based  on  SUPA  and  local 
weather  conditions  encountered  at  the  field  location.  Follow-on  P-2  sorties  (second,  third, 
etc)  should  sample  a  portion  of  the  airmass  that  was  not  intercepted  on  the  previous  P-2  at  a 
given  level . 
c.  Phase  Three  (P-3)  long  range  collection  sorties  may  be  required  under  the  following 
conditions: 
(1)  At  the  conclusion  of  P-2  sorties  and/or  as  a  result  of  the  analysis  of  the  samples 
collected  on  these  sorties. 
(2)  If  the  SUPA  trajectories  do  not  become  accessible  within  a  reasonable  length  of 
time  or  enter  circular  patterns  that  could  result  in  debris  exiting  at  a  number  of  different 
points. 
(3)  After  debris  trajectories  have  passed  or  against  general  outflow  patterns. 
Flights  will  normally  be  conducted  along  a  single  track  at  a  standard  millibar  level  500  to 
1000  nautical  miles  on  either  side  of  a  selected  point  upon  the  predominant  outflow  or  trajec- 
tory path.  The  timing,  millibar  level (s),  and  A0I{s)  will  be  determined  by  this  headquarters. 
5-3.  Collection  Procedures: 
a.  Exposure  pattern  enroute  to/returning  from  the  A0I:  Exposure  will  be  as  specified  in 
paragraph  4-3a. 
b.  Exposure  pattern  within  the  A0I  for  foreign  underground  events.  Upon  reaching  the  IP: 
(1)  Start  new  U-l  LDE  coverage. 
(2)  Start  U-l  SDE  coverage. 
(3)  Start  whole-air  collection. 
(a)  P-l,  P-2  and  P-3.  Pump  pairs  of  30  minute  spheres. 
(b)  Other  pumping  profiles  may  be  directed. 
(4)  If  IFP  contact  is  established,  collect  IFP  samples.  Continue  the  collection  to 
the  maximum  extent  possible  or  as  briefed. 
c.  Exposure  pattern  within  the  A0I  for  foreign  atmospheric  events.  Upon  reaching  the  IP: 
(1)  Start  new  U-l  L0E  coverage. 
(2)  Start  U-l  SDE  coverage. 
(3)  Start  whole-air  collection: 
(a)  P-l.  Pump  pairs  of  30  minute  spheres  throughout  the  A0I.
5-2  CENR  55-3    25  July  1986 
(b)  P-2.  At  or  before  the  IP,  and  at  the  altitude  of  interest,  collect  one  pair 
of  30  minute  background  spheres.  If  IFP  conditions  are  not  encountered,  no  additional  spheres 
are   required. 
(c)  P-3.  Pump  pairs  of  30  minute  spheres  throughout  the  AOI. 
NOTE:  When  concurrent  spheres  are  required,  SOEs  of  less  than  60  minutes  may  be  experienced  if 
sphere  automatic  cut-off  occurs  in  less  than  30  minutes. 
(4)  If  IFP  1s  established,  collect  one  or  more  IFP  samples. 
(a)  If  B/400A  indications  are  less  than  maximum  scale  7  In  10  minutes,  collect 
one  sample  before  searching  for  a  better  contact. 
(b)  If  B/400A  Indications  exceed  maximum  scale  7  In  10  minutes  collect  two 
samples,  then  reestablish  original  flight  track.  (Based  upon  Alpha  and  Delta  Report  infor- 
mation, HQ  AFTAC  may  recall  aircraft  prior  to  completion  of  the  AOI.). 
d.  If  the  sampling  aircraft  has  only  one  operable  U-l  foil,  modify  the  sampling  patterns 
as  follows: 
(1)  For  IFN  (within  the  AOI)  -  atmospheric  or  underground.  Obtain  SDEs  not  to  exceed 
60  minutes.  Concurrent  whole-air  samples  are  required  IAM  paragraph  5-3b  or  c. 
(2)  For  an  IFP  sample  -  atmospheric.  Obtain  two  sequential  papers  not  to  exceed  30 
minutes,  concurrently  with  two  sequential  pairs  of  30  minute  spheres. 
(3)  For  an  IFP  sample  -  underground.  Obtain  one  paper  not  to  exceed  60  minutes  con- 
currently with  two  sequential  pairs  of  30  minute  spheres.

6-1.  Purpose.  This  chapter  specifies  the  collection  procedures  used  for  sorties  flown  against 
US  nuclear  activities. 
6-2.  US  Underground  Collection  Procedures: 
a.  Exposure  patterns  enroute  to/returning  from  the  AOI  are  the  same  as  those  specified  in 
Paragraph  4-3a. 
b.  Collection  profiles  within  the  AOI  upon  reaching  the  IP: 
(1)  Start  new  IDE  coverage  for  the  AOI. 
(2)  Start  SDE  coverage  for  the  AOI. 
(3)  Start  pairs  of  30  minute  spheres. 
(4)  If  IFP  conditions  are  encountered: 
(a)  Collect  IFP  samples  using  atmospheric  duration  criteria  if  B/400A  indications 
exceed  maximum  scale  seven  in  ten  minutes  or  less.  Collect  two  IFP  samples  prior  to  collecting 
at  a  different  altitude  or  continuing  track. 
(b)  Collect  IFP  samples  using  underground  duration  criteria  if  B/400A  indications 
are  less  than  maximum  scale  seven  in  ten  minutes. 
(5)  If  the  sampling  aircraft  has  only  one  operable  U-l  foil,  use  the  exposure 
pattern(s)  specified  in  paragraph  5-3d.

PONY  EXPRESS 
7-1.  Purpose.  This  chapter  specifies  the  normal  detection,  collection,  and  equipment  delivery 
procedures  used  for  PONY  EXPRESS  Operations. 
7-2.  Detection  Procedures.  Debris  resulting  from  these  events  will  not  normally  produce  indi- 
cations on  the  B/400A  or  D-500  detection  systems.  Therefore,  the  visible  cloud  or  debris  pool 
will  be  the  only  positive  location  indicator. 
7-3.  Collection  Procedures.  Particulate  and  whole-air  samples  will  be  required  from  the  air 
mass  containing  debris.  Obtain  whole-air  samples  using  spheres  which  have  not  been  pumped 
since  depot  cleaning.  Obtain  water  samples  from  visible  debris  pools. 
a.  Collection  exposures  enroute  to  and  returning  from  AOI  are  not  required  except  as 
noted  in  paragraph  7-5. 
b.  A  pre-event  background  sample  will  be  obtained  for  each  mission  flown.  Background 
samples  are  contingent  upon  sampler  time  on  station  prior  to  projected  event  time.  Time  per- 
mitting, obtain  two  pre-event  background  samples,  one  at  1000  feet  and  one  at  5000  feet  in  the 
AOI.  Expose  one  paper  at  each  altitude  for  five  minutes.  The  lower  altitude  has  priority.  A 
pair  of  spheres  should  be  pumped  for  30  minutes  beginning  when  the  first  background  paper  is 
exposed.  Variations  in  altitude  while  pumping  the  spheres  is  acceptable.  When  background  and 
event  papers  are  exposed  on  the  same  sortie,  separate  the  background  papers  from  the  event 
papers  using  an  unused  filter  assembly. 
c.  Single  Visible  Cloud.  If  a  cloud  is  visible,  maneuver  the  aircraft  (e.g.  Figure  eight, 
orbit,  or  90/270)  to  penetrate  the  cloud  as  frequently  as  possible  until  the  cloud  dissipates. 
Attempt  to  sample  at  various  altitudes  with  the  first  pass  just  below  the  visible  cloud's  bot- 
tom, the  second  at  the  center,  and  successive  passes  at  ascending  altitudes. 
NOTE:  The  SEO  must  be  advised  when  the  aircraft  enters  and  exits  the  visible  debris  cloud; 
therefore,  close  coordination  is  necessary  between  the  pilot  or  observer  and  SEO. 
(1)  Start  collecting  a  pair  of  spheres  30  seconds  prior  to  cloud  entry  and  pump  con- 
tinuously (using  the  same  spheres)  until  30  seconds  after  the  final  pass  through  the  cloud. 
NOTE:  While  collecting  whole-air  samples  from  single  or  multiple  visible  clouds,  use  as  many 
compressors  as  possible  to  obtain  maximum  pressure.  Special  laboratory  processing  will  be  per- 
formed on  spheres  containing  less  than  5Q0  psi. 
(2)  The  U-l  foils  will  have  a  long  and  short  filter  exposure  pattern. 
(a)  Both  long  and  short  patterns  start  approximately  ten  seconds  prior  to  cloud 
entry.  The  short  terminates  five  seconds  after  exiting.  Expose  new  filters  1n  the  same  pat- 
tern on  subsequent  passes. 
(b)  The  long  U-l  paper  exposure  terminates  five  seconds  after  last  exit  of  a 
single  cloud. 
(3)  The  FI-2  filter  exposure  will  coincide  with  the  long  U-l  filter  exposure. 
(4)  Continue  the  above  collections  until  the  debris  cloud  is  no  longer  visible. 
d.  Multiple  Visible  Clouds. 
(1)  A  minimum  of  one  pass  will  be  made  at  each  cloud. 
(2)  Start  collecting  a  pair  of  spheres  30  seconds  prior  to  the  first  cloud  penetration 
and  stop  30  seconds  after  exiting.  Purge  the  pressure  system  between  all  collections. 
Accomplish  purging  by  pumping  two  designated  purge  spheres  for  a  minimum  of  one  minute  or  until 
a  new  sample  is  started,  whichever  occurs  first.  Use  a  new  set  of  spheres  on  each  subsequent 
pass  (e.g.,  the  second,  and  third  pass).  After  the  third  pass,  terminate  whole-air  collection 
efforts  against  this  test.
7-2  CENR  55-3    25  July  1986 
(3)  To  reduce  the  possibility  of  cross-contami nation,  use  separate  U-1  foils  for  each 
cloud.  Alternating  U-1  filter  exposure  from  one  U-1  to  the  other  should  reduce  the  possibility 
of  this  cross-contamination  (e.g.,  the  F-l  foil  would  be  used  in  cloud  "A",  followed  by  the  F-2 
foil  in  cloud  "B",  and  continue  alternating  foils  through  subsequent  passes).  Commence  expo- 
sure ten  seconds  prior  to  cloud  entry  and  terminate  five  seconds  after  exiting.  Use  a  new 
filter  on  each  pass. 
NOTE:  Annotate  cloud  pass  and  identify  the  corresponding  filter  papers.  Plot  the  number  of 
passes  between  clouds  (e.g.,  cloud  "A"  -  two  passes,  cloud  "B"  -  two  pas.es).  The  pilot  or 
observer  must  inform  the  SEO  ten  seconds  before  the  aircraft  enters  a  cloud,  when  it  exits,  and 
when  sampling  a  new  cloud. 
(4)  FI-2  exposure  will  correspond  with  the  U-1  start  and  stop  times,  using  a  new 
filter  on  each  pass. 
(5)  Continue  the  above  filter  collection  procedures  until  the  visible  debris  clouds 
dissipate. 
e.  Non-Visible  Cloud. 
(li  Request  the  navigator  note  the  impact  time,  estimated  impact  point,  and  surface 
winds,  then  vector  the  aircraft  to  a  point  downwind  and  slightly  ahead  of  the  air  mass  con- 
taining the  debris. 
NOTE:  Conduct  surface  sampling  at  300  feet. 
(2)  Upon  reaching  the  downwind  point,  establish  a  heading  perpendicular  to  the  wind 
axis  and  hold  this  heading  for  30  seconds.  Then  initiate  a  180  degree  turn  (30  degree  bank)  in 
the  upwind  direction.  Establish  one  minute  legs  across  the  wind  axis  and  make  all  turns  in  an 
upwind  direction. 
(3)  Start  simultaneous  fifteen  minute  U-1  filter  exposures  with  a  concurrent  pair  of 
pumped  spheres. 
(4)  FI-2  exposure  will  coincide  with  U-1  exposure. 
(5)  Continue  the  above  sampling  pattern  until  the  navigator  determines  that  the 
aircraft  has  passed  through  and  is  upwind  of  the  air  mass  which  should  contain  the  debris. 
This  sampling  pattern  should  be  flown  for  a  minimum  of  15  minutes  to  insure  collection  of  suf- 
ficient whole-air  samples. 
(6)  After  completion  of  this  pattern,  sampling  against  this  specific  event  will  be 
considered  complete. 
7-4.  Water  Sampling. 
a.  Background  Sample.  A  pre-event  background  water  sample  is  required  from  the  A0I.  A 
background  sample  is  not  required  if  a  sample  has  been  obtained  from  the  A0I  within  the  previous 
seven  day  period.  Only  one  sample  1s  required  for  background.  A  clean  bucket  will  be  used  to 
collect  the  background  water  sample.  This  bucket  may  be  subsequently  used  to  collect  an  event 
sample. 
b.  Debris  Pool  Sampling. 
(1)  If  impact  1s  observed,  or  an  Identifiable  debris  pool  is  sighted,  mark  the  loca- 
tion with  smoke  marker  and  sea  dye  marker  downwind  from  the  pool. 
(2)  Obtain  at  least  three  water  samples  from  the  debris  pool.  If  time  and  conditions 
permit,  try  to  obtain  additional  samples  from  areas  of  significant  interest  (i.e.,  floating 
debris,  oil,  surface  discoloration).  Use  a  different  bucket  for  each  debris  pool  sampled. 
NOTE:  Personnel  handling  water  samples  must  wear  plastic  gloves  to  preclude  contaminating 
themselves  or  the  samples.  Use  one  pair  of  gloves  for  each  sample.  Dispose  of  gloves  IAW 
Chapter  13.

7-5.  Post-Event  Sampling.  Post-event  sampling  is  not  required  if  pre-event  background  samples 
have  been  collected  IAW  paragraph  7-3b  or  7-4a.  If  operational  constraints  precluded  obtaining 
pre-event  background  samples  obtain  a  background  sample  in  the  vicinity  of  the  collection  using 
the  procedures  specified  in  paragraph  7-3b  or  7-4a.  Obtain  the  water  sample  using  a  clean 
bucket.  Air  samples  should  be  obtained  upwind  from  the  event  sample  if  possible. 
7-6.  Post-Test  Purging  Procedures: 
a.  Purge  both  U-l  foils  to  the  maximum  extent  possible  prior  to  landing,  and  then  again  at 
the  beginning  of  the  next  mission.  Collect  one  30  minute  sample  prior  to  reaching  the 
designated  AOI. 
b.  Use  similar  purging  procedures  for  the  FI-2  foil  if  used. 
c.  Purge  each  compressor  used  during  the  collection  to  the  maximum  extent  possible  prior 
to  landing,  and  then  again  at  the  beginning  of  the  next  mission.  Collect  two  spheres  using  the 
purged  compressor(s)  the  last  30  minutes  prior  to  reaching  the  designated  AOI. 
7-7.  Sample  Downloading  Procedures.  Download  collected  samples  progressing  from  filters  con- 
taining least  debris  to  most  debris  to  minimize  cross-contamination  (e.g.  Background,  Post-test 
Sample,  cloud  passes  in  reverse  order  due  to  dissipation,  etc.).  Specific  order  for 
downloading  will  be  determined  through  close  coordination  between  the  cockpit  observer  and  the 
SEO  and  entered  in  the  AFTO  Form  781. 
7-8.  Documentation  Procedures.  Record  times  to  the  nearest  minute  on  all  forms  and  paperwork. 
Proper  correlation  of  sample  data  requires  that  cloud  entry  times  and  water  sample  times  be  as 
accurate  as  possible.  All  SEOs  and  and  operations  officer  should  insure  that  they  have  an 
accurate  time  hack  prior  to  take-off. 
a.  Turn  on  the  inflight  voice  recorder  approximately  fifteen  minutes  prior  to  event  time. 
Make  periodic  time  hack's  (every  ten  minutes)  and  record  at  least  two  minutes  of  WWV  prior  to 
and  after  the  event. 
b.  SEOs/Ops  Officers  will  be  responsible  for  recorder  set-up,  connection,  and  recording 
initiation. 
c.  The  recorder  will  be  used  as  an  aid  in  determining  actual  time  within  the  debris  cloud. 
For  this  purpose,  an  observer  on  the  flight  deck  must  comment  over  the  interphone  when  entering 
and  exiting  the  debris  cloud.  Recordings  will  be  turned  in  during  post-mission  debriefing.

MARITIME  OPERATIONS 
8-1.  Purpose.  This  chapter  specifies  the  detection  and  collection  procedures  used  for  sorties 
flown  against  foreign  underwater  nuclear  tests. 
8-2.  Maritime  SUPA.  Forecast  positions  of  the  nuclear  debris  pool  (FPDP)  will  be  prepared  by 
the  US  Navy  Fleet  Numerical  Oceanographic  Center  (FLENUMOCEANCEN)  and  transmitted  to  field 
operating  locations  once  each  24  hours.  This  FPDP  message  gives  position  forecasts  for  12  hour 
movements  normally  covering  a  three  day  time  span.  Coordinates  within  the  message  text  will  be 
expressed  in  whole  degrees  and  tenths  of  whole  degrees.  Decimal  points  will  not  be  utilized 
within  the  text.  Maritime  SUPA  messages  will  be  consecutively  numbered  for  each  alert  and  will 
utilize  the  following  format: 
FPDP  Msg  No.  01,  Alert  680,  follows  in  clear  text: 
Time  Position 
261 2Z  165N  1094E 
(Day)  (Time)     (Lat)Uong) 
NOTE:     In  the  event  US  Navy  surface  forces  are  required,  this  headquarters  will  determine  the 
requirements  and  conduct  all  coordination  necessary  to  ensure  the  accomplishment  of  these 
maritime  operations. 
8-3.     Detection  Procedures.     The  D-500  receiver  will  be  the  primary  detection  system  for 
locating  radioactive  pools.     Flight  tracks  will  be  planned  to  search  the  area  forecasted  to 
contain  the  debris  pool. 
a.  The  desired  flight  altitude  in  the  area  of  interest  will  be  approximately  500  feet. 
NOTE:     Operations  will  be  conducted  only  during  daylight  and  under  VFR  conditions. 
b.  When  positive  indications  are  noted  on  the  D-500,  the  SEO  will  request  the  immediate 
release  of  a  smoke  marker. 
c.  After  the  smoke  marker  has  been  released,  an  expanding  box  search  pattern  will  be  flown 
to  locate  the  point  of  greatest  radioactive  intensity  within  the  debris  pool.     The  expanding 
box  will  consist  of  two  2-minute  and  two  4-minute  legs.    Mark  with  a  smoke  flare  each  area 
detected  by  the  D-500  which  has  a  greater  intensity  than  previous  detections.     Collect  samples 
from  the  area  of  greatest  radioactive  intensity. 
d.  If  no  areas  of  greater  radioactivity  aire  noted,  return  to  the  original  contact  point 
and  collect  samples. 
8-4.  Collection  Procedures.  The  seawater  sampling  system  consists  of  a  rapid-fill  container 
with  a  free-fall  line.  Samples  will  be  obtained  by  HC-130  aircrews  in  accordance  with  proce- 
dures and  techniques  established  by  MAC. 
a.  Collect  a  minimum  of  five  samples,  covering  equal  segments  of  the  sampling  track  within 
the  area  of  forecasted  debris  pool. 
b.  Upon  positive  contact  with  the  debris  pool,  collect  five  additional  samples  from  the 
area  of  contact. 
8-5.     Sample  Disposition.     Sample  disposition  will  be  IAW  Chapter  14.

MISCELLANEOUS  SAMPLING/COLLECTION  OPERATIONS 
9-1.     Purpose.     This  chapter  specifies  requirements,  sortie  profiles,  and  collection  criteria 
for  background,  special  event,  training,   special   project,  and  other  miscellaneous  missions. 
9-2.     Background  Missions.     Sampling  missions  are  required  on  a  periodic  basis  to  monitor  the 
ambient  background  levels  exiting  the  Eurasian  landriiass.     Background  missions  are  not  required 
when  a  P-l,  P-2  (underground),  P-3,  or  special  background  sortie  has  been  flown  in  the  same 
geographical   area,  altitude,  and  timeframe  as  the  background  requirement.     Specific  require- 
ments are  as  follows: 
a.  Far  East  Background  Requirements.     The  Far  East  background  requirements  will  be  tasked 
by  HQ  AFTAC.     IP  times  will  be  provided  via  PROREP  01.     Background  missions  will  be  required  in 
this  area  as  follows: 
(1)  Particulate  and  whole-air  samples  will  be  collected  between  2,500  and  10,000  feet 
(10,000  desired)  approximately  once  each  seven  days  from  airflow  exiting  the  Eurasian  landmass 
to  the  east.     This  mission  will  be  referred  to  as  the  "Weekly  Background." 
(2)  Particulate  and  whole-air  samples  will  be  collected  between  25,000  and  35,000  feet 
(29,000  desired)  once  each  thirty  days  from  outflow  exiting  the  Eurasian  landmass  to  the  east. 
This  mission  will  commonly  be  referred  to  as  the  "Monthly  Background." 
(3)  Detachment  407,  in  conjunction  with  their  local  weather  support  unit,  will  deter- 
mine areas  to  be  sampled.     Flight  tracks  will  cover  a  minimum  of  500  miles  on  both  sides  of  a 
central  outflow  point. 
b.  Polar  Background  Requirements.     Aircraft  will  normally  deploy  from  CONUS  bases  to 
accomplish  this  requirement.     Every  two  weeks  particulate  and  whole-air  samples  are  required 
between  2,500  and  10,000  feet  from  airflow  exiting  the  Eurasian  landmass  to  the  north.    Timing, 
altitude(s),  and  AOKs)  will  be  tasked  by  HQ/AFTAC. 
c.  High  Altitude  Background  Requirement.    Requirements  exist  for  particulate  and  whole-air 
samples  to  be  collected  quarterly  between  40,000  feet  and  the  maximum  attainable  altitude  with 
the  U-2  aircraft.     Scheduling,  specific  altitudes,  and  AOI  will  be  determined  by  HQ  AFTAC. 
d.  Special  Background  Requirements.     Requirements  exist  for  periodic  background  par- 
ticulate and  whole-air  samples  between  2,500  and  40,000  feet  not  covered  by  weekly,  monthly,  or 
polar  background  sorties.     Frequency  of  mission  requirements,  altitudes,  and  AOIs  will  be 
determined  by  HQ/AFTAC. 
e.  Particulate  and  whole-air  collection  criteria  for  the  Far  East,  Polar,  Special,  and 
CONSTANT  GLOBE  background  sorties  are  as  follows: 
(1)  Enroute  to  the  AOI.  Sample  collection  enroute  to  and  returning  from  the  AOI  will 
be  as  specified  in  paragraph  4-3a. 
(2)  Within  the  AOI. 
(a)  Far  East/Polar/Special  Background  Settles: 
L.     SDE  and  LDE  filter  papers. 
2.     Pump  pairs  of  30-minute  spheres. 
(b)  CONSTANT  GLOBE  Background: 
JL     SDE  and  LDE  filter  papers. 
2.    Pump  single  30-minute  spheres.     (Use  3000  psi  spheres). 
(c)  Sample  collection  criteria  for  the  high  altitude  background  sortie  will  be  as 
briefed  by  the  on-site  AFTAC  representative.

9-3.  Special  Events.  Periodic  sampling  is  required  in  response  to  Special  Events  not  other- 
wise covered  in  this  regulation.  Notification  and  tasking  will  be  provided  on  an  as  required 
basis  by  this  headquarters.  Collection  criteria  will  be  the  same  as  specified  for  foreign 
underground  events. 
9-4.  Additional  Sampling.  Sampling  may  be  required  due  to  substantial  lab  results  or 
peculiarities  not  associated  with  a  specific  event  (S  mission).  Collection  criteria  will  be 
the  same  as  specified  for  foreign  underground  events. 
9-5.  Training.  MT"  sorties  are  flown  in  support  of  aircrew  initial/currency/proficiency 
training  and/or  the  Standardization/Evaluation  Program.  Specific  sampling  criteria  will  be  as 
directed  by  the  Flight  Examiner/Instructor,  or  local  procedures.  Samples  collected  will  not  be 
processed  unless  an  actual  IFP  condition  is  encountered. 
9-6.  Other  Sampling  Sorties.  "A,  V,  and  VI"  sorties  are  flown  for  missions  not  covered  above. 
These  missions  provide  the  relocation  of  resources,  MAC  aircrew  training,  weather  support, 
specific  projects,  and  equipment  development  and  evaluation. 
a.  Sampling  criteria  for  "A  &  W"  sorties: 
(1)  FI-2  exposures  will  begin  at  2000  ft  AGL  and  end  at  2000  ft  on  final  descent. 
(2)  U-l  exposure  will  be  accomplished  using  LDE  criteria  from  level  off  until  start  of 
final  descent. 
(3)  Flight  Examiners/Instructors  may  modify  the  above  exposure  when  Stan/Eval  flight 
checks  or  SEO  training  is  conducted. 
(4)  "A"  and  "W"  sorties  may  have  a  second  training  purpose.  Indicate  this  in  the 
mission  identifier  by  adding  (T).  Example:  35-KMCC-PNHL-055A(T).  Sequential  U-l  coverage  of 
the  flight  must  be  forwarded  to  the  laboratory. 
b.  Sampling  criteria  for  "V"  sorties:  Sampling  criteria  will  be  developed  locally  or  as 
established  in  implementing  directives  (e.g.,  frag  orders).  Frag  order  will  include  collection 
guidance,  sample  and  equipment  handling  instructions,  radiation  safety  information,  logistic 
requirements,  etc. 
9-7.  IFP  Sampling.  If  IFP  indications  are  encountered  during  any  of  the  above  sampling  opera- 
tions, collect  IFP  samples  using  the  following  duration  criteria: 
a.  If  8/400A  indications  exceed  maximum  scale  7  in  10  minutes  use  atmospheric  procedures. 
b.  If  B/400A  indications  are  less  than  maximum  scale  7  in  10  minutes,  use  underground  pro- 
cedures. 
9-8.  Inflight  Reports.  Submit  inflight  reports  as  required. 
9-9.  Sample  Disposition.  Sample  disposition  will  be  IAW  Chapter  14.

Chapter  12 
RADIOLOGICAL  SAFETY 
12-1.  Purpose.  This  chapter  specifies  responsibilities  and  provides  procedures  for  radiologi- 
cal safety  for  aircrew  and  ground  support  personnel. 
12-2.  References: 
a.  AFR  161-8,  Aerospace  Medicine  -  Control  and  Recording  Procedures,  Occupational  Exposure 
to  Ionizing  Radiation. 
b.  AFR  161-28,  Aerospace  Medicine  -  Personnel  Dosimetry  Program  and  the  USAF  Master 
Radiation  Exposure  Registry.

d.  TO  00-110A-1,  Guidelines  for  Identification  and  Handling  of  Aircraft  and  Material 
Contaminated  with  Fission  Product  Debris. 
12-3.  Definitions: 
a.  Dose  -  The  quantity  of  ionizing  radiation  administered  or  absorbed. 
b.  Dosimeter  -  A  device  which  measures  radiation  dose. 
c.  Roentgen,  Rad,  Rem  -  Units  of  ionizing  dose.  For  the  purpose  of  this  regulation,  these 
units  may  be  considered  equal. 
d.  Occupational  Radiation  Worker  -  An  individual  who  requires  routine  access  to  restricted 
areas  to  perform  the  job.  Sampling  aircrew  and  ground  support  personnel  are  considered  in  this 
category. 
e.  Restricted  Area  -  Any  area  containing  ionizing  radiation  levels  such  that  a«  individual 
continuously  present  in  the  area  could  receive  a  whole  body  radiation  1n  excess  of  two  millirem 
in  one  hour  or  100  millirem  in  seven  consecutive  days.  Sampling  aircraft  are  considered 
restricted  areas  after  a  contact  during  SPECIAL,  DOMESTIC,  and  PONY  EXPRESS  operations. 
12-4.  General.  Aircraft  and  aircraft  accessories  may  become  contaminated  with  fission  product 
debris  as  a  result  of  participation  in  sampling  operations.  This  contamination  emits  energy  in 
the  form  of  nuclear  radiation  which  may  be  harmful  to  the  human  body.  The  extent  of  the  damage 
to  the  body  is  governed  by  the  amount  and  type  of  radiation  received  and  the  period  of  time 
over  which  the  radiation  is  received.  The  body  will  tolerate  some  radiation;  the  exposure  of 
personnel  to  radiation  should  always  be  kept  to  the  lowest  practicable  level.  Airborne 
radiation  safety  procedures  are  therefore  required  to  reduce  the  exposure  of  aircrew  personnel 
to  potentially  harmful  radiation. 
12-5.  Responsibilities: 
a.  MAC  and  SAC  will  ensure  all  personnel  under  their  command  or  within  their  jurisdiction 
comply  with  the  radiation  protection  standards  of  AFR  161-8  and  the  USAF  Film  Dosimetry  program 
as  directed  by  AFR  161-28. 
b.  AFTAC  units  will: 
(1)  Ensure  all  personnel  under  their  command  or  within  their  jurisdiction  comply  with 
the  radiation  protection  standards  of  AFR  161-8  and  the  USAF  Film  Dosimetry  program  as  directed 
by  AFR  161-28. 
(2)  Assist  MAC  and  SAC  aircrews  1n  determining  the  radiation  level  being  encountered 
during  sampling  operations. 
12-6.  Radiation  Protection  Standards: 
a.  These  radiation  protection  standards  (from  AFR  161-8)  apply  to  sampling  operations  and 
activities  conducted  1n  support  of  HQ  USAF  COMBAT  CATCH  Plan  unless  specifically  waived  by  the 
Air  Force  Surgeon  General.  These  values  are  the  maximum  allowable. 
b.  The  accumulated  dose  of  radiation  to  the  whole  body,  head  and  trunk,  active  blood 
forming  organs,  gonads,  or  lens  of  the  eye  shall  not  exceed:
12-2  CENR  55-3    25  July  1986 
(1)  Three  rem  in  any  calendar  quarter,  or 
(2)  Five  times  (N-18)  rem  total  lifetime  dose  where  N  equals  the  present  age  in 
years.  The  occupational  exposure  to  radiation  by  personnel  under  18  years  of  age  is  not  per- 
mitted. 
12-7.  Radiation  Measuring  Devices: 
a.  The  primary  dosimeter  for  occupational  radiation  workers  is  the  Thermo  Lumini scent 
Dosimeter  (TLD).  Occupational  radiation  workers  will : 
(!)  Obtain  a  TLD  through  the  local  base  medical  services. 
(2)  Wear  a  TLD  at  all  times  when  within  a  restricted  area. 
(3)  Ensure  TLD  Is  stored  in  the  specific  storage  area  designated  by  the  organiza- 
tion commander  when  not  in  use. 
b.  The  secondary  dosimeter  is  the  pocket  ionization  chamber  dosimeter. 
(1)  Direct  reading  pocket  dosimeters  may  be  used  to  supplement  but  not  replace  the 
TLD  program  for  occupational  radiation  workers.  These  direct  reading  instruments  may  be 
helpful  in  immediately  determining  the  approximate  radiation  dosage  received  and  to  avoid 
exceeding  the  radiation  exposure  limits  specified  in  AFR  161-8. 
(2)  Visitors  to  restricted  areas,  who  are  not  occupational  radiation  workers,  will 
wear  direct  reading  pocket  ionization  chamber  dosimeters  instead  of  TLD.  Positive  reports  will 
be  made  to  the  custodian  of  the  individual's  health  record  through  the  local  director  of  base 
medical  services. 
c.  Portable  radiation  survey  meters  can  be  used  to  determine  the  approximate  radiation 
dosage  received.  Meters  such  as  the  AN/PDR-27  provide  an  immediate  readout  of  radioactive 
level  in  mi  1 1 1  roentgens  per  hour  or  roentgens  per  hour.  To  convert  this  reading  to  dose,  the 
average  value  measured  must  be  multiplied  by  the  time  of  exposure  in  hours. 
12-8.  Radiation  Safety  Procedures.  The  following  minimum  safety  precautions  will  be  observed: 
a.  General  Safety  Procedures: 
(1)  TLDs  and/or  dosimeters  will  be  worn  by  all  personnel  when  working  in  restricted 
areas. 
(2)  Disposable  gloves  will  be  worn  when  working  on  equipment  known  to  be  radiologi- 
cally contaminated.  Place  used  plastic  gloves  In  a  single  CEM  Form  25  and  turn  into  the  local 
laboratory  for  disposition. 
(3)  Personnel  will  wash  their  hands  thoroughly  with  detergent  or  soap  as  soon  as 
possible  after  working  on  equipment  known  to  be  radiologically  contaminated. 
(4)  Personnel  with  open  cuts,  sores,  scratches,  or  wounds  will  not  work  on  radiologi- 
cally contaminated  equipment. 
(5)  Personnel  acquiring  cuts,  scratches,  or  open  wounds  while  working  on  radiologi- 
cally contaminated  equipment  will  wash  the  affected  area  and  seek  medical  treatment  as  soon  as 
possible. 
b.  Airborne  Safety  Procedures: 
(1)  All  occupational  radiation  workers  will  wear  the  TLO  during  sampling  sorties. 
(2)  The  special  equipment  operator  will  advise  the  aircraft  commander  to  initiate  the 
ARM  checklist  whenever  the  B/400A  rate  meter  system  registers  scale  six  or  higher;  whenever 
300;pm  alpha  activity  is  encountered;  or  whenever  the  gamma  activity  rises  15mR/hr  above 
background.  Additionally,  use  these  procedures  during  suspected  PONY  EXPRESS  contacts  or 
similar  sorties.  When  this  occurs,  the  following  additional  safety  precautions  will  be  taken: 
(a)  Discontinue  smoking  and  eating  during  the  period  of  positive  contact  with 
radioactive  debris.
CENR  55-3    25  July  1986  12-3 
(b)  An  aircrew  member  designated  by  the  aircraft  commander  will  conduct  periodic 
monitoring  of  the  level  of  radioactivity  within  the  aircraft.  Document  readings  on  Cen  Form 
80. 
(c)  Use  100S  oxygen  to  preclude  the  possible  ingestion  of  alpha  particle  emitters. 
Continue  using  1002  oxygen  for  a  minimum  of  30  minutes  after  departing  IFP  contact. 
NOTE:  Personnel  handling  PONY  EXPRESS  water  samples  must  wear  plastic  gloves  to  preclude  con- 
taminating themselves  or  the  samples  by  alpha  particle  emitters. 
(3)  Place  all  IFP  1-2  papers  in  a  high  speed  box  to  limit  the  exposure  to  radiation. 
During  preflight  the  SEO  should  ensure  a  high  speed  box  is  available  for  this  purpose. 
c.  Identify  screens,  grids,  separators,  rings,  and  clamps  denoting  depot/laboratory  inspec- 
tion required  by  making  the  appropriate  entry  in  the  AFTO  Form  781. 
NOTE:  The  SEO  will  brief  ARE  maintenance  personnel  to  use  separate  plastic  gloves  when 
downloading  each  IFP  U-l  filter  paper  and  to  identify  the  filter  assemblies  and  separators  for 
return  to  depot  for  laboratory  inspection.

13-3.  General.  Aircraft  and  accessories  may  become  contaminated  with  radioactive  debris 
as  a  result  of  aerial  sampling  operations.  This  contamination  may  cause  any  or  all  of  the 
following  conditions: 
a.  The  aircraft  may  be  contaminated  at  such  a  high  level  that  1t  poses  a  possible 
radiation  safety  hazard  to  aircrew  and  ground  personnel.  Aircraft  in  this  condition  will  not 
be  used.  Aircraft  and  equipment  in  this  category  will  be  handled  by  local  disaster 
preparedness/bi ©environmental  personnel . 
b.  Aircraft  and  accessories  may  become  contaminated  with  nuclear  debris  but  not  to  the 
extent  that  a  radiation  safety  hazard  exists.  To  eliminate  any  confusion  during  the  required 
cleansing  process  of  aircraft/equipment  that  falls  into  this  category,  the  term  "sanitization" 
will  be  used  in  lieu  of  "decontamination."  The  degree  of  sanitization  required  is  entirely 
dependent  upon  the  extent  of  contamination  and  the  projected  utilization  for  the 
aircraft/equipment.  The  most  common  instance  requiring  this  type  of  sanitization  occurs  when 
an  atmospheric  nuclear  event  has  been  successfully  sampled  and  both  aircraft  and  ARE  are  con- 
taminated. On-scene  radiological  safety  personnel  determine  that  a  hazard  does  not  exist. 
Even  though  both  aircraft  and  equipment  have  been  declared  "clean",  from  a  safety  standpoint,  a 
significant  cleansing  is  still  required  before  aircraft  or  equipment  may  be  acceptable  for 
future  sampling  requirements  against  underground  events  or  special  follow-on  sorties.  Both  the 
aircraft  and  equipment  must  be  "sanitized"  to  the  level  of  residual  activity  in  the  atmosphere. 
c.  Aircraft  and  accessories  may  become  contaminated  with  material  sampled  during  PONY 
EXPRESS  and/or  selected  Domestic  Operations.  Contamination  of  this  nature  will  not  normally  be 
observed  on  ARE  detection  equipment  or  standard  Air  Force  Radioactivity  Measuring  Equipment. 
On  PONY  EXPRESS  Operations  special  detection  equipment  and  a  technician  will  be  deployed  to  the 
Foward  Operating  Location  (FOL)  as  a  means  of  detecting  possible  radioactive  contaminants 
collected  during  a  sampling  mission.  Results  will  be  a  factor  when  determining  the  Aircraft 
Usability  Factor  code  as  described  in  paragraph  13-5. 
13-4.  Responsibilities: 
a.  MAC  and  SAC  will  decontaminate/sanitize  aircraft,  accessories,  and  ARE  as  required  to 
ensure  personnel  safety  and  minimum  cross-contamination  of  samples. 
b.  AFTAC  units  will: 
(1)  Assist  in  evaluating  decontamination  and  sanitization  efforts  and  interpret  the 
measurements  of  contamination  levels.
13-2  CENR  55-3    25  July  1986 
(2)  Provide  guidance  to  MAC/SAC  on  the  level  of  sanitization  required,  the  expected 
debris  content  of  the  atmosphere,  and  the  type  of  AFTAC  directed  sampling  sorties  to  antici- 
pate. AFTAC  personnel  will  encourage  the  use  of  the  most  suitable  aircraft  for  each  sortie 
considering  the  previously  mentioned  planning  factors  and  operational  requirements. 
(3)  Identify  ARE  which  must  be  replaced  with  decontaminated/sanitized  equipment. 
Field  level  cleansing  procedures  will  be  attempted  in  accordance  with  the  appropriate  Air  Force 
Tech  Order  prior  to  returning  the  affected  ARE  to  Depot  for  overhaul. 
(4)  Advise  MAC/SAC  on  the  proper  disposition  of  contaminated  ARE. 
13-5.  Aircraft  Usability  Factors.  Once  It  has  been  determined  that  aircraft  contamination 
levels  pose  no  actual  or  potential  health  hazard,  conditions  may  exist  which  could  cause 
serious  technical  problems  during  laboratory  analysis  of  follow-on  sorties.  This  may  also 
degrade  sampling  efforts  against  other  current  or  subsequent  alerts.  Personnel  should  be 
cautioned  to  avoid  such  terms  as  "Hot"  or  "Contaminated  Aircraft"  since  neither  accurately 
describes  an  aircraft  in  this  category.  All  references  to  suitability  for  follow-on  sampling 
sorties/operations  will  be  derived  from  the  Aircraft  Usability  Factor  (AUF)  Codes.  Field  loca- 
tions will  determine  the  appropriate  AUF  Code  If  they  have  the  capability  to  analyze  swipes. 
Field  units  will  inform  HQ  AFTAC/DOR/TNT  of  activity  levels  observed  before  and  after  washing 
and  their  intentions  regarding  AUF  codes.  HQ/TNT  reserves  the  option  of  revising  AUF  codes  as 
necessary  and  tasking  aircraft  rewash  if  mission  requirements  dictate.  Specific  AUF  codes  are: 
a.  AUF  -  1.  An  aircraft  suitable  for  all  sampling  efforts. 
b.  AUF  -  2.  An  aircraft  that  is  not  suitable  for  use  against  an  underground  nuclear 
event. 
c.  AUF  -  3.  An  aircraft  which  1s  not  suitable  for  any  aerial  sampling  operation. 
d.  AUF  -  4.  An  aircraft  that  is  not  suitable  for  use  against  a  PONY  EXPRESS  or  Domestic 
event. 
e.  AUF  -  5.  An  aircraft  that  1s  suitable  for  use  only  against  a  specified  event. 
NOTE:  During  PONY  EXPRESS  operations  the  special  detection  equipment  results  will  aid  in 
determining  AUF  codes. 
13-6.  Decontamination/Sanitization  of  ARE.  Determination  of  replacement  of  ARE  depends  on  the 
level  of  success  of  field  decontamination/sanltization  efforts  and  operational  requirements. 
ARE  which  has  been  used  to  collect  debris  from  an  atmospheric  event  will  normally  be  replaced 
prior  to  being  used  for  sampling  against  underground  events.  Additionally,  ARE  which  has  suc- 
cessfully collected  samples  during  PONY  EXPRESS  or  domestic  (LANSL/LANL)  operations,  will  nor- 
mally be  replaced  prior  to  sampling  against  subsequent  PE  missions,  and  either  atmospheric  or 
underground  events. 
a.  F1el<i  level  decontamination  procedures  will  be  as  specified  in  the  following  technical 
orders: 
(1)  12M5-4-2-12,  U-l  Foil. 
(2)  12M5-4-3-1,  FI-2  Foil  Assembly. 
(3)  12M5-4-5-2,  F-52  Foil,  P-52  Platform. 
(4)  12M5-4-8-12,  Electrical  Pressure  System  PN  38S524-9. 
NOTE:  Field  level  decontamination  procedures  for  U-2  ARE  will  be  IAW  appropriate  SAC  direc- 
tives. 
b.  Depot  level  decontamination  will  be  accomplished  IAW  T.O.  12M5-4-151-1. 
c.  MAC  and  SAC  will  periodically  perform  a  minimum  sanitization  (routine  washing)  of 
sampling  equipped  aircraft  and  ARE  1n  accordance  with  T.O.  1-1-1.  This  1s  required  to  prevent 
the  gradual  accumulation  of  dirt,  grease,  oil,  and  residual  debris  (present  in  the  atmosphere) 
from  contaminating  subsequent  samples. 
d.  Spheres  used  on  Atmospheric,  PONY  EXPRESS,  or  Domestic  (LANSL/LANL)  collections  will  be 
returned  for  depot  cleaning  prior  to  reuse.  Spheres  used  against  underground  events  will  be 
reused  or  returned  to  depot  IAW  T.O.  9P1-2-17-2  or  as  determined  by  local  laboratory  personnel.
CENR  55-3    25  July  1986  13-3 
e.  AFTAC  will  perform  a  laboratory  inspection  on  all  screens  that  were  used  on  an  IFP  sor- 
tie or  were  used  to  make  a  collection  against  a  PONY  EXPRESS  event  to  insure  control  of  con- 
taminated ARE  assets.  The  SEO  will  make  the  following  entries  in  the  AFTO  Form  781  A. 
(1)  For  IFP  missions: 
(a)  "Screens  and  separator  assemblies  require  depot  laboratory  inspection  prior  to 
use,  except  for  missions  against  Alert  XXX.  For  further  missions  against  Alert  XXX  wash  prior 
to  use.  Identify  screens/separators  as  from  mission  identifier/alert  foil  serial  number." 
(p)  "All  ARE  requires  laboratory  inspection  prior  to  sampling  except  for  missions 
against  Alert  XXX.  Used  on  mission  identifier/alert." 
NOTE:  If  facilities  are  not  available  for  washing  screens  operational  consideration  may 
necessitate  use  without  washing. 
(2)  For  collections  against  a  PONY  EXPRESS  event: 
!a)  "All  ARE  requires  laboratory  inspection  prior  to  use.  Used  on:  mission 
identifier." 
(b)  "All  screens  and  separators  require  laboratory  inspection  prior  to  use." 
13-7.  Periodic  Monitoring  Program  (Swipe).  The  requirement  exists  to  monitor  sampling 
aircraft  and  equipment  acceptability  for  AFTAC  missions.  The  swipe  program  also  provides  docu- 
mentation of  background  contamination  levels  for  both  aircraft  and  equipment. 
a.  Laboratory  and  operations  personnel  will  jointly  establish  a  local  program  to  meet 
these  needs.  The  following  minimum  requirements  must  be  satisfied: 
(1)  Swipe  each  sampling  aircraft  before  departure  from  home  station  or  upon  arrival  at 
TDY  location. 
(2)  Swipe,  during  post-flight,  each  aircraft  encountering  IFP  conditions. 
(3)  Swipe,  during  preflight,  aircraft  flying  PONY  EXPRESS  sorties. 
(4)  Swipe,  during  post-flight,  aircraft  that  have  collected  particulate  and/or  whole- 
air  samples  from  a  PONY  EXPRESS  event. 
(5)  Swipe,  during  preflight,  aircraft  flying  sorties  involving  radioactive  fuel 
materials  (e.g.,  LANL,  LLNL). 
(6)  Swipe,  during  post-flight,  aircraft  following  sampling  operations  involving  non- 
radioactive fuel  materials  (e.g.,  LANL,  LLNL). 
(7)  Swipe,  during  preflight,  aircraft  flying  SEC-P  sorties. 
(8)  Swipe,  after  aircraft  has  been  washed  (IFP  conditions  or  PONY  EXPRESS  event  or 
when  designated  in  frag  orders). 
b.  Areas  to  be  "swiped"  are  as  follows: 
(1)  WC-135: 
(a)  Fuselage,  just  forward  of  left  overwing  hatch. 
(b)  Fuselage,  just  forward  of  right  overwing  hatch. 
(c)  Fuselage,  random  location. 
(d)  Left  U-l  foil  inlet  duct. 
(e)  Right  U-l  foil  inlet  duct.

(4)  U-2: 
(a)  Fuselage,  just  forward  of  foil. 
(b)  Fuselage,  random  location. 
(c)  Foil  inlet  duct. 
c.  Swipes  of  the  fuselage  areas  will  be  accomplished  by  placing  the  fuzzy  side  of  the  FI-2 
paper  against  the  aircraft  skin  and  rubbing  in  a  circular  motion,  covering  approximately  one 
square  foot  of  the  fuselage. 
d.  Swipes  of  the  sampling  foils  will  be  accomplished  by  placing  the  fuzzy  side  of  the  FI-2 
paper  against  the  Inner  surface  of  the  foil  inlet  duct  and  rubbing  around  the  inner  circum- 
ference. 
e.  Plastic  gloves  will  be  utilized  while  swiping  following  an  IFP  mission.  A  separate 
plastic  glove  will  be  used  for  each  swipe.  Used  plastic  gloves  will  be  placed  in  a  single  CEN 
Form  25  and  turned  in  to  the  local  laboratory  for  disposition. 
f.  Each  FI-2  paper  used  will  be  placed  in  a  separate  CEN  Form  32. 
g.  AFTAC  field  laboratories  will  analyze  the  swipes  and  advise  HQ  AFTAC/TNT  of  the  status 
of  the  aircraft  and  ARE.  HQ  AFTAC/OOR,  in  close  coordination  with  TNT,  will  determine 
acceptabillty/unaeceptability  of  aircraft  and  ARE  and  will  advise  appropriate  MAC/SAC  and  AFTAC 
field  units  of  sanltlzation  required  and  any  significant  changes. 
NOTE:  For  PONY  EXPRESS  events  the  results  of  the  swipes  will  be  reported  to  the  on-scene  TNT 
Technical  Advisor,  who  will  forward  recommendations  the  FOL  QIC.

Chapter  14 
SAMPLE  DISPOSITION 
14-1.  Purpose.  This  chapter  outlines  guidance  for  disposition  of  samples  at  locations  without 
an  AFTAC  laboratory  facility. 
14-2.  Responsibilities.  The  senior  deployed  AFTAC  representative  is  responsible  for: 
a.  Contacting  HQ  AFTAC /DO/LG/TN  (through  the  AFTAC  Duty  Officer)  to  determine  if  samples 
require  shipment. 
b.  Proper  packaging  and  identification  of  samples  entered  into  transportation  channels. 
14-3.  Shipment  of  Samples: 
a.  Specific  guidance  on  sample  shipment  will  be  contained  in  implementing  directives  for 
PONY  EXPRESS  and  special  projects. 
b.  Samples  will  normally  be  retained  with  mission  aircraft.  In  the  event  significant 
delays  (24  hours  or  greater)  in  returning  to  a  base  with  a  laboratory  occur  or  the  mission  is 
IFP,  contact  HQ/DO/LG/TN  (through  the  AFTAC  Duty  Officer)  for  guidance  on  sample  shipment. 
c.  Security  of  Samples.  The  classification  or  criticality  of  the  sample  may  require  that 
it  be  escorted  during  shipment.  Armed  Forces  Courier  Services  (ARFCOS)  may  be  used  for  samples 
that  are  not  radioactive  for  purposes  of  transportation.  Samples  meeting  the  criteria  of 
paragraphs  14-5b,  or  14-7b(l)  will  not  be  entered  in  ARFCOS  channels.  A  letter  authorizing  use 
of  ARFCOS  is  contained  in  attachment  2  of  this  regulation. 
d.  See  attachments  2  and  3  for  additional  information  on  shipping  addresses,  fund  cites, 
waivers,  etc. 
e.  If  you  have  to  ship  samples,  contact  the  transportation  management  office  (TMO)  on  DOD 
installations,  or  the  resident  transportation  expert,  when  dealing  with  non-DOD  agencies,  for 
assistance  in  preparing  the  necessary  documentation.  If  problems  arise  contact  the  AFTAC  Duty 
Officer  for  assistance. 
14-4.  Classification  of  Samples: 
a.  From  US/UK  Tests.  Samples  will  be  classified,  CONFIDENTIAL  RESTRICTED  DATA,  pending 
analysis. 
b.  From  Foreign  Tests.  Samples  will  be  UNCLASSIFIED  if  unidentified  as  to  source  or  if 
identified  by  arbitrary  numbers  only.  Alert  or  special  event  numbers  are  arbitrary. 
c.  From  PONY  EXPRESS.  Samples  will  be  UNCLASSIFIED  if  unidentified  as  to  source  or  iden- 
tified by  arbitrary  event  number  only. 
14-5.  Particulate  Samples: 
a.  From  Inflight  Negative  (IFN)  sampling  operations—These  samples  are  not  radioactive 
material  for  purposes  of  transportion  and  may  be  shipped  via  any  mode  that  is  appropriate, 
based  on  classification  and  desired  speed  of  delivery. 
b.  From  Inflight  Positive  (IFP)  sampling  operations—These  samples  are  radioactive 
material  for  purposes  of  transportation.  They  may  be  shipped  via  mission  aircraft.  They  may 
also  be  shipped  via  MAC  channels  by  following  the  provisions  of  AFR  71-4  and  the  information 
contained  in  attachment  2  of  this  regulation.  Under  no  circumstances  will  IFP  samples  be 
entered  into  commercial  transportation  channels  without  express  written  guidance  from  HQ  AFTAC. 
c.  From  PONY  EXPRESS  operations— Unless  actual  IFP  indications  are  obtained,  samples  from 
PONY  EXPRESS  missions  will  be  shipped  IAW  para  14-5a  above,  if  actual  IFP  indications  are 
obtained,  ship  IAW  para  14-5b  above. 
d.  From  Special  Projects— If  special  shipping  instructions  are  required  they  will  be  con- 
tained in  implementing  directives. 
14-6.  Whole-Air  Samples  (Spheres).  For  purposes  of  transportation,  whole-air  samples  are  not 
radioactive  material.  They  are  considered  hazardous  cargo  because  they  are  compressed  gas.  If 
they  are  entered  into  transportation  channels,  they  must  be  identified  as  non-flammable 
compressed  gas  (air).  Certification  of  the  shipping  container  (sphere)  is  contained  in  tech- 
nical order  9P1-2-17-2.  The  required  documentation  for  shipment  of  whole-air  samples  depends
U-2  CENR    55-3  25  Julv    1986 
upon  the  transportation  mode  used  and  assistance  should  be  requested  from  the  local  transpor- 
tation specialists.  Regardless  of  the  mode  used,  it  is  the  shipper's  responsibility  to  iden- 
tify the  cargo  as  hazardous  (non-flammable  compressed  gas,  air)  when  offering  it  for  shipment. 
14-7.     Water  Samples: 
a.  From  PONY  EXPRESS  operations—These  samples  are  not  radioactive  material  for  purposes 
of  transportation  and  may  be  shipped  via  any  mode  that  1s  appropriate  based  on  classification 
and  desired  speed  of  delivery. 
b.  From  maritime  sampling  operations: 
(1)  If  positive  contact  is  made,  based  on  D-500  indications,  shipment  will  be  IAW  para 
14-5b  above. 
(2)  If  negative  contact  is  made,  based  on  D-500  Indications,  rhipment  will  be  IAW  para 
14-Sa  above. 
14-8.    Mission  Data  Forms.    A  copy  of  all  pertinent  mission  data  forms  will  accompany  all 
sample  shipments. 
14-9.    Additional  Guidance.    Additional  guidance  on  sample  shipment  can  be  found  in  AFR  71-4 
and  Code  of  Federal  Regulations  Title  49.
CENR  55-3    25  July  1986  15-1 
Chapter  15 
OLYMPIC  RACE  OPERATIONS 
15-1.  Purpose.  This  chapter  specifies  the  normal  interception  and  collection  procedures  used 
for  high  level  sampling  sorties  flown  against  foreign  nuclear  atmospheric  events.  In  addition, 
it  specifies  the  basic  techniques  used  by  the  U-2  pilots  while  performing  their  sampling 
duties. 
15-2.  Detection/Vectoring  Techniques.  Normally  the  D-500A  will  provide  the  first  indication 
of  the  presence  of  radioactive  debris.  When  an  increase  in  the  D-500A  gross  rate  is  observed, 
check  the  directional  indicators  to  determine  the  relative  location  of  the  debris.  Vector  the 
aircraft  in  the  indicated  direction  until  contact  with  the  debris  has  been  established. 
NOTE:  D-500A  directional  indications  are  relative  to  the  wing  axis,  therefore,  changes  in 
aircraft  attitude  must  be  taken  into  consideration. 
a.  A  gross  rate  increase  of  five  or  more  divisions,  with  accompanying  directional  indica- 
tions, should  be  considered  as  significant  and  investigated. 
b.  If  gross  rate  indications  do  not  increase  with  a  maximum  climb/descent  of  5000  feet  or 
a  lateral  movement  of  20  nautical  miles  on  either  side  of  the  flight  track,  return  to  the  ori- 
ginal flight  track.  These  restrictions  do  not  apply  if  the  gross  rate  continues  to  increase 
with  accompanying  directional  indications.  The  limits  of  deviations  from  planned  tracks  can 
vary  with  unique  situations.  The  on-site  AFTAC  representative  will  determine  the  parameters  in 
these  cases  and  brief  the  pilot. 
15-3.  Contact  Procedures.  Normally,  a  rapid  increase  in  the  amount  of  radioactivity  measured 
by  the  B/400B  indicates  a  positive  contact  with  the  debris.  The  following  steps  outline  the 
procedures  to  be  followed  upon  contact: 
a.  Continue  straight  ahead  for  one  to  two  minutes,  reduce  vent,  tighten  face  seal,  and 
record  the  following  IFP  data: 
(1)  Zulu  time  of  contact. 
(2)  Coordinates  of  contact  in  degrees  and  minutes. 
(3)  Altitude  of  contact. 
(4)  Flight  level  winds. 
b.  Establish  a  standard  rate  orbit,  allowing  the  aircraft  to  drift  with  the  wind. 
c.  Start  new  filter  and  ball  collection. 
NOTE:  Disregard  D-500A  indications  once  positive  contact  has  been  verified  by  increasing 
B/400B  indications. 
d.  Transmit  inflight  contact  report.  Transmit  this  report  in  the  clear.  Format  is  con- 
tained in  OLYMPIC  RACE  Inflight  Checklist  (Figure  15-3). 
15-4.  Collection  Procedures: 
a.  Collection  procedures  start  at  the  initial  point  (IP).  To  start  filter  exposure, 
position  door  switch  to  open.  Continue  exposing  the  filter  papers  for  a  maximum  of  three  hours 
duration  or  until  IFP  Indications  are  observed.  Pump  one  background  ball  at  the  IP.  Place  the 
power  switch  of  the  P-5  Ball  Sampler  Control  Panel  in  the  "ON"  position. 
NOTE:  If  Ball  No.  1  reaches  2800  psi  prior  to  the  end  of  thirty  minutes,  manually  turn  system 
OFF  to  prevent  automatic  sequencing. 
b.  Inflight  Positive  (IFP)  collection  procedures. 
(1)  If  B/400B  indications  exceed  maximum  scale  7  within  10  minutes  of  the  initial  con- 
tact, collect  two  20  minute  filter  papers  and  simultaneously  pumped  balls,  then  return  to  base.
15-2  CENR  55-3    25  July  1986 
(2)  If  8/400B  indications  do  not  exceed  maximum  scale  7  within  10  minutes,  collect  two 
20  minute  filter  papers  with  simultaneously  pumped  balls,  then  continue  on  the  planned  track 
using  the  same  filter  exposure  outlined  in  paragraph  15-3a  (Additional  background  ball  is  not 
required). 
15-5.  Reintercept  Procedures.  If  contact  with  a  debris  cloud  is  lost,  use  original  contact 
point  and  flight  level  winds  to  vector  aircraft  back  to  a  point  where  reintercept  is  planned. 
At  the  expected  reintercept  point  use  the  following  search  patterns  until  contact  with  the 
debris  is  reestablished. 
a.  Initiate  a  standard  rate  orbit  regardless  of  detection  equipment  indications.  If  posi- 
tive contact  has  not  been  established  after  one  complete  orbit,  reverse  the  orbit. 
b.  If  positive  contact  has  not  been  made  after  reversing  orbit,  sound,  covering  2,000  feet 
above  and  below  the  original  contact  altitude.  Sounding  1s  accomplished  by  climbing  and 
descending  at  a  rate  of  500  feet  per  minute  while  maintaining  orbit.  If  positive  contact  is 
not  established,  return  to  the  original  contact  altitude  and  establish  an  expanding  box  search 
pattern. 
c.  The  expanding  box  search  pattern  is  accomplished  by  flying  a  series  of  legs  turning  90 
degrees  in  the  same  direction  after  each  leg.  The  first  two  legs  should  be  two  minutes  in 
length,  the  third  and  fourth  legs  should  be  four  minutes  In  length,  and  the  fifth  leg  should  be 
six  minutes  in  length.  If  positive  contact  is  not  established,  proceed  to  a  point  known  to  be 
downwind  and  ahead  of  the  suspected  position  of  the  debris  cloud  and  establish  a  sawtooth 
search  pattern. 
d.  The  sawtooth  search  pattern  consists  of  a  series  of  legs  going  back  and  forth  across 
the  wind  flow,  with  each  leg  angled  slightly  upwind. 
15-6.  Before  Landing  Procedures.  Discontinue  sampling  collections  upon  completion  of  the 
assigned  track  or  when  returning  to  base  after  meeting  criteria  in  15-3b(l).  Turn  P-5  Ball 
System  off  and  advance  the  F-4  foil  through  filter  six.  If  infli-ght  negative,  leave  the 
sampling  hatch  door  closed.  If  inflight  positive,  purge  the  foil  by  placing  the  filter  posi- 
tion switch  up,  and  the  door  switch  to  open. 
15-7.  OLYMPIC  RACE  Checklists.  These  checklists  provide  the  pilot  with  the  appropriate  infor- 
mation for  the  OLYMPIC  RACE  sampling  missions.  Some  checklist  items  require  a  visual  check  of 
equipment  operations  from  outside  the  aircraft  at  the  same  time  the  pilot  is  in  the  seat.  The 
AFTAC  representative  or  maintenance  technician  will  assist  in  these  checks.  Unique  mission 
requirements  or  malfunctions  may  require  deviations  from  the  checklist  procedures. 
a.  Preflight  Checklist  -  (Figure  15-1).  This  checklist  will  be  accomplished  by  main- 
tenance personnel  during  their  normal  aircraft  preflight.  All  discrepancies  will  be  corrected 
or  the  AFTAC  on-site  representative  notified.  In  addition,  the  AFTAC  representative  and  the 
U-2  Mobile  Officer  will  perform  this  checklist  together  prior  to  launch. 
b.  OLYMPIC  RACE  Event  Checklist  -  (Figure  15-2).  This  checklist  contains  all  pertinent 
Inflight  sampling  instructions  and  positive  contact  protective  actions  to  be  taken  by  the 
pilot.  It  also  supplies  the  formats  for  the  inflight  reports  and  the  flight  data  sheet  form 
for  the  sampling  profile. 
c.  OLYMPIC  RACE  Background  Checklist  -  (Figure  15-3).  This  checklist  contains  all  per- 
tinent inflight  sampling  instructions  as  well  as  the  sampling  profile  for  the  pilot.  It  also 
supplies  the  formats  for  the  inflight  reports  and  the  flight  data  sheet. 
15-8.  Inflight  Reports.  Inflight  reports  are  used  during  OLYMPIC  RACE  operations  to  advise  of 
Inflight  contacts  (Alpha  Report),  malfunctions  (Bravo  Report),  visual  sightings  (Charlie 
Report)  and  inflight  status  (Echo  Report).  Transmit  Inflight  reports  in  the  clear  to  OLYMPIC 
RACE  operations  using  UHF  (when  1n  range)  or  HFSSB.  Transmit  reports  as  soon  as  practicable 
following  the  contact,  malfunction,  or  visual  sighting.  These  reports  provide  the  on-site 
AFTAC  representative  with  Information  concerning  the  flight's  progress. 
a.  Alpha  Report.  Provides  notification  of  IFPs.  This  information  1s  valuable  for  follow-
