RADEF Room Radef/Operations
This room is actually part of the Operations Room but it is separated by the folding metal doors on the right of the picture. These folding doors are the same folding doors seen in the Operations Room pictures. This room is where Civil Defense personnel would have tracked the reports from RADEF (Radiological Defense) monitors. The RADEF system consisted of a network of radiological monitoring stations that would monitor radiation levels around the area and report to the EOC via radio. The map on the wall straight ahead in the picture is the map where these reports would have been plotted. You can see the remains of a map frame on the wall to the left. The map at this station was the NUDET (Nuclear Detonation) map. The purpose of this was to plot the locations of nuclear explosions in the area. This room had water standing in the floor and the wall with the RADEF map had severe water damage. The door to the right of the map goes to the Men's Restroom (not photographed) and Rear Entry Hallway.

Radef Operations looking other wayThis photo was taken during the March 2003 tour. This is looking in from the door seen in the above photo. The folding metal door on right is the same door as seen in the operation room photos. Folding metal door making up far wall is the same folding metal door in the Dormitory. I think the purpose of the folding metal doors in this room is to allow this area to be used as a bunk area too but it doesn't actually say that on the shelter floor plan in the Dallas Emergency Operations plan.
