Summary[edit]

Description 330-PS-6632 (USN 709170a): Tests for radioactivity are made on board the U.S. Navy tanker USS Patapsco, which received slight and not dangerous contamination by radioactive fall-out while operating in support of the task force conducting tests in the Eniwetok-Bikini area. As an extreme precaution, the ship and its crew of six officers and 86 men were brought to Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard for checking and complete decontamination. None of the personnel received sufficient radiation to be in any way harmful. Although it has been established that no apparent possibility of injury to crew members exists, all members of the crew were removed from the ship and given thorough medical examinations as an extra safety measure. This examination gave no evidence of any harmful effects from the slight exposure. Photograph released April 8, 1954. (4/7/2015). Operation Crossroads.
