DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4250447· OSTI ID:4250447

In connection with the Upshot-Knothole test series in network consisting of 95 U.S. and 26 forcign stations was set up. Of the 11 devices detonated, ranging in yield from 0.2 to 60 kt, highier activity was found for lower bursts than from air drops. Information relating to the optimum spacing of stations in a gummed film network and the possibility of missing local areas of intense fallout are discussed. (W.D.M.)
