"This report provides supplementary information to the series and shot volumes. The information includes a glossary; list of acronyms; explanations of radiation health concepts, radiation measurement, radiation detection, radiation protection, and radiation standards; and a list of data and document sources."--Abstract.
This report describes the activities of DoD personnel, both military and civilian, in Shots WASP, MOTH, TESLA, TURK, and HORNET, the first five events of the TEAPOT atmospheric nuclear weapons test series. The tests were conducted from February 18 to March 12, 1955 and involved participants from Exercise Desert Rock VI, AFSWP, AFSWC, AEC nuclear weapons development laboratory test groups, and the Civil Effects Test Group. This volume also describes the radiological safety activities undertaken at each of these five shots.
The book presents an interesting and statistical report about the Trinity project; a project conducted by the Manhattan Engineer District (MED) that was designed to test and assess the effects of a nuclear weapon. It delivers accurate data on the development of atomic bombs and their tests performed in New Mexico along with the steps taken to manage exposure. This volume details the participation of MED and LASL in Project Trinity, provides critical information, including a description of the Trinity test site, and explains the actions of MED and LASL participants before, during, and after the detonation. This study also examines the radiological safety standards and procedures in effect for the project. Finally, it presents the outcomes of the radiation monitoring program, including information on film badge readings for participants in the task. Contents include: Introduction The Activities at Project Trinity Radiation Protection at Project Trinity Dosimetry Analysis of Participants in Project Trinity
This report describes the activities performed by DoD personnel, both civilian and military, at Shot SIMON, the seventh nuclear test in the UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE atmospheric nuclear weapons testing series. SIMON had an expected yield of 35 kilotons, but its actual yield was 43 kilotons. The test was conducted on 25 April 1953 and involved participants from Exercise Desert Rock V, AFSWP, AFSWC, and the AEC test groups. The Tactical Troop Maneuver involved about 2,450 Army personnel. The Volunteer Observer Program had eight participants: seven from the Army and one from the Navy.
This report describes the activities of DoD personnel, both military and civilian, in Shots ESS, HADR, APPLE 1, WASP PRIME, HA, POST, MET, and ZUCCHINI, the latter eight events of the TEAPOT atmospheric nuclear weapons test series. Shot APPLE 2, the next to the last TEAPOT test event, is described in a separate volume. These tests were conducted from March 23 to May 15, 1955 and involved participants from Exercise Desert Rock VI, AFSWP, AFSWC, AEC nuclear weapons development laboratories, and the Civil Effects Test Group. This volume also describes the radiological safety activities undertaken at each shot.
