DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES:

H.1. GENERAL. All personnel and equipment leaving the Exclusion/Hot area

will be thoroughly decontaminated before passing through to the

Support/Cold area.

H.2. CONTAINMENT. A continuous system of containment shall be established

and maintained at all times during operations.

The containment system should be established to physically separate

each area. Separation is intended to prevent liquid or solid movement

from one area to the next and to prevent spillage onto uncontaminated

deck space.

Containment is to be established in such a way as to ensure that water

spillage along the lift path would be routed over the side without

entering the personnel decontamination area, the deck storage area, or

any non-controlled, uncontaminated area.

H.3. DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES:

H.3.a. Decon solutions will be potable or sea water.

H.3.b. DECON STEPS:

1) WATER WASH/DELUGE: The water column shall be considered a

water wash/deluge system and the first step of the

decontamination procedure. On reaching the surface, unless

otherwise indicated, the divers shall be considered

decontaminated and shall exit the water without going

through the platform portion of the contamination

reduction area. Any outer clothing or equipment that

shows bottom sediment shall be removed and decontaminated

through the platform portion of the contamination

reduction area.
