Reed, J W

Predictions and measurements of distant propagations were made of airblast from Project MILLRACE, to identify, control, and document the off-site environmental impact. A weather-watch was maintained, using special meteorological observations, to assure that atmospheric acoustic refraction would not cause significant nuisance damage or hazard to surrounding communities. Weak propagation conditions prevailed during MILLRACE, so there was no possibility of nuisance damage or hazard in any of the neighboring communities.
