DescriptionNNSA-NSO-901.jpg | Indian Springs AFB, Nevada, April 20, 1952 -- To reduce personnel hazards due to exposure to more than minimal amounts of atomic radiation during AEC nuclear tests at the Nevada Proving Grounds, all United States Air Force aircraft are analyzed for radioactive contamination after flying in the vicinity of each nuclear detonation. When such examinations of aircraft reveal an excess of radioactivity, the airplanes are decontaminated by high pressure washing with a solution of "Gunk", a grease solvent, and water. Decontamination of aircraft is a relatively simple wash-down process. | ||||
