3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS page 14
Model PRM-470B
Personnel:
All articles in hand should be searched separately. The PRM should be held
within 3 inches (7.5cm) of the person and moved slowly, from head to foot
anteriorly and posteriorly.
Vehicles:
The engine should be off. All personnel are requested to leave the vehicle for an
individual scan. All compartments (hood, trunk and glove box) should be opened
and scanned with particular attention paid to possible areas of concealment, such
as wheel wells, hub caps and relatively inaccessible areas.
If contamination or suspect material is located, follow site regulations.
As stated above, these search techniques are drawn from examples given in the Los Alamos
National Laboratories User’s Manual, "Hand-Held Search Monitor for Special Nuclear
Materials", by Paul E. Fehlau (1984). For more information, contact the Los Alamos National
Laboratories staff directly.
