This training program educates participants on reacting to different nuclear attack scenarios, identifying protective shelters, decontamination procedures, and radiological contamination markers with high accuracy to achieve a passing score on the Performance Test. Learn about radiation types, protective positions, effective actions with or without warning, and steps for decontamination in case of fallout or encountering DULLRAM hazards during a nuclear attack simulation. Be prepared to handle radiological contamination efficiently by following decontamination procedures with 70% accuracy. This comprehensive training covers everything from identifying contamination markers to removing radiation from skin, clothing, and equipment to ensure maximum safety.

Terminal Learning Objective ACTION:React to a nuclear hazard or attack.
Terminal Learning Objective (cont.) CONDITIONS:Given a scenario simulating a nuclear attack, you must respond to one of the following situations where you: 1. See a brilliant flash of light or a mushroom- shaped cloud. 2. Find a standard radiological contamination marker or an enemy marker.
Terminal Learning Objective (cont.) CONDITIONS (cont.): 3. Are told that fallout is in your area. 4. Receive warning instructions to respond to a nuclear attack. 5. Come across a suspected DULLRAM hazard.
Terminal Learning Objective (cont.) STANDARD:Identify the best protective shelter; identify radiological contamination markers with 100% accuracy. Identify requirements to decontaminate self and equipment. You must achieve a score of 70% on the Performance Based Test.
Learning Objective A • ACTION:Identify types of radiation and actions to take to react to a nuclear hazard or attack without warning.
Learning Objective A (cont.) • CONDITIONS:Given a scenario simulating a nuclear attack, you must respond to a situation where you see a brilliant flash of light or a mushroom-shaped cloud.
Learning Objective A (cont.) • STANDARD:Identify the best protective position to avoid or lessen the effects of the blast.
Learning Objective B • ACTION:Identify actions to take to react to a nuclear hazard or attack with warning.
Learning Objective B (cont.) • CONDITIONS:Given a scenario simulating a nuclear attack, you must respond to a situation where you receive warning instructions to respond to a nuclear attack.
Learning Objective B (cont.) • STANDARD:Identify all steps to take to react with warning. Identify positive and negative characteristics of protective shelters.
Foxholes Prone position foxhole Open one-person foxhole Open two-person foxhole
Foxhole Positions Fair Protection Good Protection Best Protection
Field Expedient Overhead Cover Cut Timber and Scrap Materials U-Shaped Metal Pickets Fabric Cover or Poncho
Field Expedient Overhead Cover (cont.) • Use of Vehicles as Expedient Overhead Cover
Line-of-Sight ABOVE-GROUND SHELTER GOOD RADIATION PROTECTION LINE-OF-SIGHT TO BURST BETTER RADIATION PROTECTION BELOW-GROUND SHELTER
Earth-shielded Positions Cover sandbags with earth and sod to protect them from thermal exposure Covered sandbags enhance camouflage and provide fragmentation protection
Buildings Reinforced-concrete Structure Reinforced Masonry-block House
Armored Vehicles • For protection, armored vehicles should be dug in (hull defilade) or placed in trenches or cuts in roads.
Learning Objective C • ACTION:Identify radiological contamination markers and actions to take if you find one.
Learning Objective C (cont.) • CONDITIONS:Given a situation where you find a standard radiological contamination marker or an enemy marker.
Learning Objective C (cont.) • STANDARD:Identify radiological contamination markers and actions to take with 100% accuracy.

Learning Objective D • ACTION:Identify the steps to remove radiological contamination (including DULLRAM) from exposed skin, clothing, and equipment.
Learning Objective D (cont.) • CONDITIONS:Given a scenario simulating a nuclear attack, where you: • 1. Are told that fallout is in your area. or • 2. Come across a suspected DULLRAM hazard.
Learning Objective D (cont.) • STANDARD:Identify steps to take to remove radiological contamination with 70% accuracy.
Decon Procedures • Brush, Scrape, or Flush radiological contamination. • Cover Foxholes and Shelters. • Radiac Operators begin continuous monitoring • Covering the Mouth with handkerchief reduces contaminants entering the lungs. • This method is preferable to masking to avoid trapping contamination in the mask filter.
