Nuclear weapon, radiological, bacteriological and chemical

In the Military jargon , a arms NBC is a Arme which is either nuclear, or biological, or chemical. With the rise of terrorism, one added the “radiological” term which indicates the dissemination of produced radioactive contaminants, for example by a “radiological Bombe”, which is different from a nuclear explosion. One thus speaks about NRBC or CBRN (official term of NATO).

These weapons belong to the weapons known as weapons of massive destruction, in the direction where their effects are difficult to control and confine under the terms of their power or to be able to them of dissemination in the environment, which one also indicates them by the term nonconventional weapons.

Chemical means of detections

Detecting paper models F1 (PDF1) reacts only to the liquid poisons. It transfers according to the colors:

  • red with purple: Blistering
  • yellow with orange: Neurotoxic G and V
  • blue with black: Neurotoxique has
Detecting paper does not react to the blood poisons.

Detector receiving sets.

  • CAMWOOD: Chemical Agent Monitor. Analyzes vapors by Spectrometry mass (radiactive source).
  • AP2C and AP4C: Analyzes vapors by Spectrométrie of flame.
  • S4PE: Complement with the AP2C and AP4C. System of taking away of liquid poisons. By heating, the liquid transforms into vapor. This one is then analyzed by the AP2C via a special tube.

Means of protection

For these reasons, the soldiers developed means of protection individual in the form of tight a combination known as “ combination NBC ” or “ NRBC ” because allowing to evolve/move in an environment contaminated by limiting the risk of exposure of the carrier of the equipment. This combination lays out of a filter Breathing apparatus.

Combination

  • the S3P: the track suit of NBC protection to permanent port

The filter Breathing apparatus or anti-gas mask

Anti-gas mask of use within the French Army .

  • the ANP: the normal apparatus of protection models 51M53

Compostion:

  1. cast solid helmet
  2. sight
  3. valve of expiry
  4. valve of inspiration
  5. cartridge (joined rubber, activated carbon, filter against aerosol)

  • ANP VP: The normal apparatus of protection has vision panoramic

Composition:

  1. panoramic helmet
  2. visor
  3. device of expiry
  4. cartridge (activated carbon against gas, filter paper against aerosol and dust)
  5. Taken liquid food

Physical reconditioning

Before withdrawing such a combination, it is necessary to decontaminate of it outside by means of a special shower, possibly accompanied by a passage under an ultraviolet light (in the case of infectious agents).
