preparedness planning board survey secured a jet engine test cell with a protection factor of 50 and 3 unused ammo bunkers with an average protection factor of 500 they were good but they were only a start more shelter was needed and more dispersal not only dispersal but better proximity to emergency war operations work area for trips of 5 minutes in radiation is 20 minutes worked lost not delay lost in 20 minutes you can arm an airplane more shelters were needed and the only expedient materials at hand were quantities of disused containers and perforated steel plane they met the basic requirement they would house men and support a covering of sand at the shelter sites ground was leveled and the containers were ranged up into a shelter nucleus simple wooden arches were prepared to support the PSP the enclosures were then sandbagged this is expedient shelter a few feet of sand to cut a lot of radiation to keep a unit on the board when its turn comes to move eight shelters of

control stations were equipped dosage forms accumulated dosage charts and rady accents also tested generators and blowers had been checked out regularly on a weekly basis this was their final test the fuel was topped off we were through DEFCON 2 time 21:10 hours radiation 40 roentgens per hour fire chief reports priority missions accomplished our storage casualties dispatched hospital fire crash crews on standby for returning aircraft on emergency landing medical control center confirms fire casualties received of hospital command post request dosage report on personnel involved [Applause]

security and calm less than one roentgen per hour in the command post the recovered pilot is decom and given a dosage status returning fire crashed proved with an average accumulated dose of 90 rad are rotated the bottom priority for future duty Judy comes at 2200 hours when base commander orders ramp wash down radiation peaked at 21 50 hours current level in roentgens per hour is 630 in center of wash area 160 20 to 20 hours base reported operational and able to recover aircraft division says get with it recover and report estimated time to launch assess and report your capability to refit aircraft from air battle damage also advise estimated duration of air battle capability this morning base capability under fallout was only an estimate but it was based on studying in Everett and the test was faced with confidence it was DEFCON 1 aircraft were readied accordingly [Music] [Music] by afternoon shelters were man and functioning as a coordinated group [Music] [Applause] attack warning came at 20:15 hours [Music] no more planning no more preparation this was it twenty to thirty hours [Music] the birds drop in through 400 roentgens per hour [Music] [Applause] first rotation
