Environmental Test Results for the CDV-711 Mark III and Model 2 Remote Sensor Radiation Meters.

Abstract

The Air Force has a stated requirement for an instrument to monitor the gamma radiation associated with a fallout environment and to be used Air Force wide in fallout shelters and command posts. The Office of Civil Defense (OCD) has developed two instruments, the CDv-711 Mark III, that could possibly satisfy the stated requirement. Both the Model 2 and the Mark III were operationally and environmentally tested to see if one of the instruments was suitable for Air Force use, either with or without additional engineering development.
