Nuclear Survival Kit™ Instructions


READ AND FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH ALL MATERIAL FOR METER USE AND IOSTAT USE 

STEP 1: If possible, remove yourself to a non-contaminated area immediately before beginning decontamination. Remain calm and use the buddy system, one person decontaminating another person if possible. Locate radioactive material with radiation detector if available and remove any contaminated clothing.

STEP 2: Put on face mask being sure to cover mouth and
no
se adequately.

STEP 3: Decontaminate (as described below) your partner’s hands first then have your partner put on a pair of exam gloves. Remove your exam gloves and have your partner decontaminate your hands. Put on a new pair of exam gloves provided and continue decontamination. Decontaminate small areas at a time and discard each rad-wipe after use. Do not reuse rad-wipes as this may spread the contamination. Handle the red plastic side and wipe using the white absorbent side.

Handle all contaminated wipes and clothing with the tongs provided whenever possible to minimize exposure.

A.  Spray on a generous amount of BLUE LABELEDSolution (Transition Metals). Let stand for a few seconds but DO NOT LET DRY!

B.  Aggressively wipe and dry thoroughly with the plastic-backed (red) rad-wipes provided. Be sure to wipe up ALL solution since any Quick Decon™ Mass Effect™ solution left on the surface/s may now contain radioactive material.

C.  Dispose of rad-wipes as “rad-waste” in trash bag provided.

D.  Repeat steps A-C with YELLOW LABELED Solution (Actinide Metals). This will be necessary if the elemental type of radioactivity is unknown.

E.  Use spare water bottle (previously filled by customer with simple tap water) to wash down affected areas. Use wipes to aggressively clean areas again and remove any residual Mass Effect™ solution. Dispose of rad-wipes as indicated above.

F.  Repeat steps A-E if necessary. When finished, dispose of rubber gloves and all contaminated clothing and materials in trash bags provided.

G.  Label trash bags as “Radioactive” using tags provided and put the rad-waste as far away from personal contact as possible. Call authorities for removal.

H.  If possible, remove yourself and any treated surfaces to a non-radioactive area in order to limit possibility of recontamination.

Note: Do not use the RDS Mass Effect solutions on open wounds and do not ingest or swallow RDS solutions. See MSDS sheets for First Aid measures and other important product information.
