PERSONNEL DECONTAMINATION
STATIONS
To instruct personnel on entering, exiting, and
personal cleaning in the CPS decontamination station,
we must review the basics of the procedure. If you
work at a command with nuclear facilities, you will be
trained in further detail by qualified personnel. For the
situation of nuclear attacks and blasts, review the basic
information contained in the Basic Military
Requirements, NAVEDTRA 14277.
Personnel decontamination stations differ
somewhat from ship to ship, but the basic requirements
of the stations are the same. Each decontamination
station is divided into two parts: (1) a contaminated or
unclean section containing a washing area and (2) a
6-14
