Civil Defense Instruments were distributed to shelters and radiological monitoring
stations in kits. These "kit pages" show what instruments made up each type of kit.

CD V-777A Kit

This is the CD V-777A "RADEF Monitoring Support Set." This set was configured for use in radiological monitoring stations by adding the CD V-717 remote sensor survery meter. The CD V-717 would be used by placing the remote sensor outside the shelter area so outside radiation levels could be monitored without going outside the shelter. I got the original list of contents for this kit from Chapter VIII, Annex 1 of DOD, OCD publication SM-11.23.2 "Radiological Defense, Planning and Operations Guide" revised March 1967. The book lists the kit contents as seen above, 1-CD V-700 Geiger counter, 1-CD V-715 Survey Meter, 1-CD V-717 Survey Meter, remote sensor, 3-CD V-742 Dosimeters and 1-CD V-750 Dosimeter Charger. The FEMA publication CPG 2-2 dated Sept 1991 also has a kit contents list. The CPG 2-2 document has the CD V-777A kit contents the same as above but with 6-CD V-742 Dosimeters instead of 2.
