Discussion of radiological hazards associated with a continental test site for atomic bombs: based on notes of meetings held at Los Alamos 1 August 1950
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7173060
This study considers that a tower-burst bomb, having a yield of 25 kilotons, could be detonated without exceeding the allowed emergency tolerance dose of 6 - 12 r outside a 180 deg test area sector 100 miles in radius. The degree of conservation could be checked with such a small bomb and the hazard associated with larger weapons could then be more realistically assessed.
