Description March 16, 1953 - Indian Springs AFB, NV, March 16, 1953 - After each flight through radioactive cloud formations during periodic Atomic Energy Commission nuclear tests conducted at the Nevada Proving Grounds, certain cloud-sampling aircraft of the Air Force Special Weapons Center are decontaminated (rid of radioactive particles adhering to skin surfaces) with a mixture of "Gunk," a grease solvent, and water, in order to reduce possible hazards of radiation. This T-33 jet-type aircraft is shown receiving a high pressure washing by airmen at the Indian Springs Air Force Base, NV.
