Essentially a 'Survey meters/dosimeters for Dummies', it presents a complex and technical subject in a very simple, easy to understand manner that anyone can learn. General topics covered are types of ionizing radiation, how it is measured, symptoms and effects of exposure, shielding and avoiding contamination. Also covered are facts about fallout, use of a survey meter (V-715), the testing and use of pen-type dosimeters and even troubleshooting such equipment. Everything is explained to just the level needed to get the job done and keep people safe. It includes Action checklists, Exposure record sheet examples and a very handy glossary as well. A must-have reference inside every shelter! Sections include: - Checklists for Radiological Monitors - What is Nuclear Radiation - The 7:10 Rule - How Much Nuclear Radiation is Harmful? - How Fallout Radioactivity Arrives and Decays - Instruments for detecting nuclear radiation - How to get your radiological instruments ready for operation - Radiation safety procedures - Decontamination of People Caught in Fallout - Finding the Places with the Lowest Radiation Levels in the Shelter - Keeping Track of Everyone's Radiation Exposure - Checking Radiation Levels Beyond the Immediate Shelter Area ALSO: See our other book on fallout shelters, "Expedient Shelter Construction" and "Shelter Plans Anthology 1"
