This report describes the 14 experiments with nuclear weapons to determine their susceptibility to fission due to accidents in storage and transportation. One of the tests (Project 57) was designed to develop effective monitoring and decontamination procedures in the event of non-nuclear detonation of a nuclear weapon. The tests were conducted during the following operational periods: in November 1955 and January 1956, during Operation PLUMBOB from April 1957 to October 1957, and in December 1957 and February and March 1958. DOD participation was limited to members of AFSWC and the Weather Bureau, some Exercise Desert Rock VII and VIII personnel, and DOD civilian and military scientists and technicians working for the AEC weapons development laboratories.
