GENERAL
This work package contains information and instructions for the Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC)
decontamination of the Lightweight Water Purifier (LWP).
The LWP is capable of being operated by personnel wearing NBC protective clothing without special tools. See
FM 3-5, NBC Decontamination, for information on decontamination procedures.
WARNING
If the source water contains iodide, cyanide or arsenic see WP 0022 00 for removal procedure. Death to
personnel may result.
SECURING THE LWP FOR NBC ATTACK
1. If there is sufficient warning, shut down the LWP as quickly as possible.
2. Prepare the LWP and the water distribution point according to FM 3-4, NBC Protection.
3. Disconnect all hoses from all modules. Place as many hoses as possible on top of the skids. The CACs
have been made slightly larger to accommodate hoses for this scenario.
4. Cover all modules with the CACs from the BII. The UF module and high-pressure pump module have a CAC
each. See Figure 1 and Figure 2.
