RADIATION HAZARD

Use Radiac Calibrator AN/UDM-6 only under the guidance of an installa-

tion/activity (local) Radiation Protection Officer and in accordance with
requirements of Chapter 5, Section IV, AR 40-5 and AR 385-11.

Plutonium 239 (Pu239) is dangerous to living tissue. Small amounts of

Pu239, when inhaled, ingested, or absorbed in open cuts or wounds, can
cause serious illness or death. To avoid accident, observe the following:

" Use and store the calibrator only in designated radiation

controlled areas.
" Do not eat, drink, smoke, apply cosmetics, or store food stuffs,
drinks, tobacco, or cosmetics where, the calibrators are
used or stored.
" Do not allow personnel with open skin wounds to handle or
work with the calibrators without the approval of the medical
officer and the (local) Radiation Protection Officer (RPO).
" Prohibit loitering in the area by unauthorized personnel.
* Handle the calibrator carefully. Do not droprough handle,
alter or damage it in any way. Mishandling can cause
source leakage.
" Do not touch the source surface with your hands. Wear plastic
*or surgical type protective gloves which allow sufficient
dexterity during calibration and leak testing. Avoid contact of
objects, such as tools, instruments, and components of the
set, with the sources.
* Always wash and dry your hands thoroughly after handling the
calibrator; check your hands with a low-range alpha radiac
meter; repeat the washing and drying, if necessary. Notify the
Radiation Protection Officer if washing does not remove
contamination.
* DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE SOURCE OR
SOURCE HOLDERS.

CHAPTER 2
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNINGS
Use the AN/UDM-6 only under the guidance of an installation/activity (local) Radiation Pro-
tection Officer and in accordance with requirements of Chapter 5, Section IV, AR 40-5 and
AR 385-11.
Plutonium 239 (Pu239) is dangerous to living tissue. Small amounts of Pu239, when inhaled,
ingested, or absorbed in open cuts or wounds, can cause serious illness or death. To avoid acci-
dent, observed the following:
(a) Use and store the AN/UDM-6 only in designated radiation controlled areas.
(b) Do not eat, drink, smoke, apply cosmetics, or store food stuffs, drinks, tobacco, or
cosmetics where the AN/UDM-6 is used or stored.
(c) Do not allow personnel with open skin wounds to handle or work with the AN/UDM-6
without the approval of the medical officer and the (local) Radiation Protection Officer.
(d) Prohibit loitering in the area by unauthorized personnel.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

1. SOURCE DAMAGE.
Step 1. Use a similar type radiac calibrator and obtain a set or readings.
Step 2. Compare the two sets of readings with readings obtained from damaged calibrator before damage occurred.
If readings are still erroneous, contact: Commander, US Army Communications-Electronics Command and Fort
Monmouth, ATTN: DRSEL-SF-MR, Fort Monmouth, NJ 07703; or call AUTOVON 995-4427, for further instructions.
2. CALIBRATION MALFUNCTION.
Step 1. Verify that the radiac set is intended to be calibrated with the AN/UDM-6.
Step 2. Verify that the correct accessories (i.e., source and attenuator) are being used for the radiac set being calibrated.
If a malfunction still exists, return the radiac set to the using activity with instructions to return the radiac set to the
appropriate maintenance facility (depot) for the required maintenance or repair.
