42 SAFETY WASTE DISPOSAL, AND RADIATION HAZARDS Department's forestry jeep, which has a 265-gallon water tank and rotary gear pump. A detergent and water solution is sprayed on a nylon mesh while air is forced through the openings in the mesh by a large fan. This produces a detergent foam which has been expanded approxi- mately 1000 times. The foam is delivered through a canvas tube at the rate of 5000 cubic feet of foam per minute. In three tests detergent foam appeared to be effective. FIRE FIGHTING IN THE NUCLEAR AGE (1960). 14 minutes, color.

Kansas City, Mo. This film (produced primarily for fire departments, health officials, and industrial personnel, under the supervision of the Health and Safety Division of the Idaho Operations Office) points out that radia- tion is just another hazard in fire fighting which can be handled with proper training. The film uses the USAEC Fire Department at the Na- tional Reactor Testing Station in Idaho as the example, showing its training. Techniques and procedures are illustrated in the fighting of a mock fire created for this film: A constant air monitor automatically rings the alarm when the fire reaches stored radioactive materials and radiation is released; the fire headquarters check the building inspec- tion report to find out where radioactive materials are stored in the burning building; fire trucks approach the building upwind to avoid possible airborne radiation; firemen don special protective clothing (i.e., shoe covers, gloves, and self-contained respiratory masks) in addition to standard protective gear; the entrance-way to the burning building is monitored before firemen enter, and frequent radiation checks are made during the fire-fighting period; firemen observe time-distance-shielding plan to protect themselves (remain in radia- tion area shortest possible time, stay as far away from burning radio- active materials as possible, place available shielding material between themselves and the fire); each fireman is checked with a monitor as he leaves the fire; all protective clothing is removed and stacked for mon- itoring and decontamination; each man checks his film dosimeter to see if he was exposed to radiation; fire-fighting equipment is checked for contamination; personnel are rechecked for radiation after re- moval of protective gear; film badges are checked; and all personnel scrub down.
