            AFRD-MD-PMS (09 Sept       1991)
            SUWECT: Radiation Protection Program f or the Radiology
            Department


             d. X-RAY TWO: The wall directly in front of the beam is not
            sand bagged. The Operating Room is located within 20 feet of the
            direct beam.

              e. There are no sand bags separating the entrance to the X-ray
            machines and the waiting areas.

            4. RECOMMENDATIONS:

              a. )W Haskins should be appointed in writing as the Radiation
            Protection Officer. An alternate (e.g. SSG Moses) should be
            trained and appointed to continue the program after force
            reduction.

              b. The film badge service will be reinstituted through the
            parent unit at Ft. Hood. The RPO POC is CPT Brannon or SFC
            Bradley at DSN 738-8249. They have arranged for a Lexington
            account and film badges to be sent to the Preventive Medicine
            Detachment.

              c. All personnel working with radiological equipment should be
            immediately enrolled in the film badge monitoring program.
              d The film badges will be collected and returned quarterly for
            measurement as per AR 40-14. Records will be maintained by the
            21st Evacuation Hospital RPO.

              e. All radiation workers will receive a CBC before entry into
            the radiation protection program. They will have a second CBC
            prior to redeployment to home station. The results will become a
            permanent part of their medical records.

              f. The X-ray Department will stark sandbags against the wall
            which is directly in front of the beam. A second wall of sand
            bags will be placed between the patient waiting areas and the X-
            ray machine (see Enclosure Two).

              g. Personnel listed in Enclosure Three will be placed on the
            Radiation Protection Program.
