Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) decontamination
(1) If Chemical or Biological contamination is expected, close all MGPTS openings
such as windows, doors, stove pipe openings and pass-throughs.
Perform unit level decontamination of the
MGPTS only under supervision of unit NBC
personnel.
(2) If MGPTS is set up, decontaminate the fabric around the entranceway area of
nuclear, chemical or biological contamination by applying STB slurry or brushing with
hot soapy water.
(3) Prepare slurry by mixing approximately equal parts of water with STB. Scrub slurry
into fabric.
(4) Remove slurry promptly with brushes (Work package 0035 00-2, Table 0035 00-1,
Item 2) and liberal quantities of hot water and soap (Work package 0035 00-2, Table
0035 00-1, Item 1) then rinse with clear water.
STB slurry may leave a harmless, white
chalky residue. This is not a cause for
concern.
(5) Decontaminate the remaining sections of the MGPTS by natural methods. Expose
the erected tent to the effects of weather and aeration for approximately 2-3 days.
Heavy concentration of DS2 is harmful to
the MGPTS fabric. A fine spray mist is
recommended. Do not scrub with mop or
broom.
DS2 will cause some change in fabric color.
