          If radiological survey determines that Depleted Uranium (DU)
          contamination exist, the tank will be in isolation for
          decontamination and will be unable to complete its mission.

          PERSONNEL/TIME REQUIRED:

          Maintenance Team Chief MOS 63E40
          Radiological Protection Officer and Radiological Survey Team
          Time determined @y location and amount of damage.

          MATERIALS/TOOLS:

          AN/PDR-27 with the beta shield open, AN/VDR-2 (IM-243 meter
          and DT-616 probe), AN/PDR-64, AN/PDR-60, AN/PDR-56F (IH-
          16OF/PDR-56 meter and DT-59OA/PDR-56 X-Ray probe) or
          equivalent low-energy photon detection instrument.

          NBC Contamination Marking Kit NSN 9905-12-124-5955

          PROCEDURAL STEPS:


          1. Assist any injured personnel.

                                     WARNING
          The number of personnel who take part in the radiation
          survey, damage assessment or vehicle recovery should be kept
          to an absolute minimum. They are to be dressed in protective
          coveralls, gloves, rubberized boots, and they are to also
          wear the M26 or M17A2 protective mask with M13A2 filter
          element and the accompanying head covers (i.e., Mission
          Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP) Level 4). The coverall
          pant legs are to be worn over the rubber boots and sealed
          with tape at the ankles. Likewise, the sleeves are to be
          slipped over the gloves and taped. The edges of the hood are
          to be draped over the coveralls and taped to them and to the
          place where it contacts to respirator. Also, any remaining
          openings are to be sealed with tape. The Radiation
          Protection Officer (RPO) will supervise during this dress-up
          procedure.

                                       NOTE

          The local RPO or NBC NCO should notify the unit maintenance
armor damage
          to determine whether the exposed armor area is special armor
          or contains DU.

          2. A radiological survey of the ground should be conducted
          with an AN/PDR-54, AN/PDR-60, AN/PDR-56F (IM-16OF/PDR-56
          meter and DT-59OA/PDR-56 X-Ray probe) or and equivalent low-
          energy photon detection instrument. The probe must be hold
          as close to the ground surface as possible without coming in
