What are the 2 boot options in the cache for use in HAZMAT ops?
Airboss (Black)
Tingley (Orange)
This isotope of Uranium is not fissile
U-238
AirBoss Boots (Black)
The minimum level of PPE required if the atmosphere contains less than 19.5% Oxygen
"Level B"
Known as "The Three D's", these are reasons to change filter cartridges
Suit worn when airborne and/or liquid concentrations are at or above IDLH
Blauer MultiThreat (NFPA 1994 Class 1/2)
A Rad Yellow II placard can have a max of what dose rate at 1 meter.
(Also known as Transportation Index or TI)
1 mr/hr at 1 meter
TI = 1
What are the 4 types of decon according to the Cont. Ops Class?
Emergency, Field, Technical, Dry/Hybrid
The workplace level of respiratory protection that a respirator or class of respirators is expected to provide
Assigned Protection Factor (APF)
The maximum atmospheric concentration of a hazardous substance from which an employee can be expected to be protected when wearing a respirator
Maximum Use Concentration (MUC)
Ruggedized suit designed to be worn with APR/PAPR
Blauer RC3
This isotope with a half life of approximately 5 years, is commonly used in food irradiation and medical procedures, and is considered a high risk for use in an RDD.
Cobalt - 60

Standard
Survey
CWA
What is the decision point for PID/IMS?
25 PPM
- Turn blower off

All neutron alarms MUST be found and verified. What is a common cause of neutron alarms?
A mixed industrial Am-241/Beryllium (AmBe) source.
What is the color associated with equipment from Indiana's HEPP cache?
Green
What is the radiological exposure limit for life saving activities?
25 REM
How do you calculate the Maximum Use Concentration?
Multiply the assigned APF of the respirator by the Occupational Exposure Limit (PEL, REL, or TLV).
Ex: 10 (APF) x 0.1 (PEL) = 1 ppm (MUC).
