This is part of an exercise in responding to
casualties in the aftermath of a 'dirty bomb' attack. Personnel in protective
suits and masks wash wounded casualties and transfer them from the 'dirty' end
of the inflatable hospital to the 'clean' end via a rolling platform.

|
The casualty is transferred to a clean spinal board

up anywhere and is illuminated from outside via the translucent roof. The
walking wounded and other contaminated persons go through a series of showers
that are run in parallel to this facility.
