R-5 Division RADCON LCDR D. S. Ray LTjg R. P. Schuerenberg The Radiological Controls Division acts as a watchdog organization for the safe accomplishment of nuclear work. In addition to these duties, R-5 provides a storage facility for radioactive liquid waste and materials. Within the division ' s 35 spaces they calibrate equipment, machine parts, build contaminants, provide pure demineralized water, decon equipment, and perform chemistry and isotopic analysis. RadCon also renders casualty response for November Emergencies and conducts environmental studies. HIGHLIGHTS The shortage of nuclear work during the deploy- ment did not diminish R-5 ' s well established work ethic. RadCon augmented other repair work centers, turning nuclear assets into conventional ones, and completed well over a hundred jobs on 45 tended units.A heavy training commitment and a challeng- ing schedule for the upgrade and maintenance of the Nuclear Support Facility competed for divisional resources. A Radiological Controls Mid-Term Examinatioi served to spotlight the exceptional caliber of Rad- Con personnel. R-5 ' s drive was evident on the playing field as well. The divisional Softball team took second plac in McKEE ' s tournament, its volleyball team finishe third and three of its personnel played on the McKEE Cardinals Championship Softball Team.
