Operation hardtack, April-October 1958, project 2.10. Residual radiation from a very-low-yield burst (sanitized version)
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:415858
This project participated during Shots Quince and Fig to determine the radiation intensities of contaminated areas resulting from a very-low-yield, surface nuclear detonation. This objective was accomplished by: (1) monitoring the crater and lip shortly after detonation, (2) performing helicopter-to-ground surveys at preselected points, (3) making a number of ground surveys during and after sample collection, (4) determining the gross gamma decay of the residual radiation from collected fallout samples, and (5) documenting the alpha contamination.
