This is the CD V-777-2 "Radiation Detection Kit." I haven't found an old (1960s era) list for the contents of this kit. This kit is described in the FEMA CPG 2-2 as "the standard set recommended for public fallout shelters." It's kind of interesting that FEMA came up with a "fallout shelter radiation set" so long after the shelter program was abandoned. I believe that this kit came about as a part of FEMA's planning for "Crisis Relocation" in the 1980's. I'm not absolutely sure about that though. The group inside FEMA that did this planning was FEMA's Office Of Civil Defense. The FEMA publication CPG 2-2 dated Sept 1991 has the contents list for this kit. The FEMA CPG 2-2 book lists the kit contents as seen above, 1-CD V-715 Survey Meter, 6-CD V-742 Dosimeters and 1-CD V-750 Dosimeter Charger. |
