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. I believe this kit came about later, maybe during the brief civil defense type resurgence in FEMA in the early to mid 1980's. 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. 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. I only have 2 dosimeters in this kit. |
