sonnel staging from ISAFB occurred in support of the DANNY BOY event. The maximum exposure for helicopter pilots supporting this event was 1700 mR, and the maximum exposure for sampling aircraft pilots during DANNY BOY was 295 mR.

Jan 3, 2005 · The next day, on 1 September 1961, the Soviet Union began an atmospheric test series of unprecedented magnitude with a 16 Kt atmospheric nuclear shot. Two weeks later, the U.S. responded by initiating Operation Nougat.

Operation Nougat [1] was a series of 44 nuclear tests conducted (with one exception) at the Nevada Test Site in 1961 and 1962, immediately after the Soviet Union abrogated a testing moratorium, with the US' Mink test shot taking place the …

Project Danny Boy was a nuclear device of 420 tons yield burst at 33.5 meters depth in the basalt rock of Area 18, Nevada Test Site. The shot was fired at 1015 PST, March 5, 1962. 1.2 Objectives Low-pressure air blast was measured out to 240 kilometers range on the test in order to:

Jul 3, 2018 · The U.S. conducted 210 atmospheric nuclear tests between 1945 and 1962, with multiple cameras capturing each event at around 2,400 frames per second. But in ...

The Danny Boy explosion crater (Fig. 1) is a nuclear test crater hosted in an-desitic basalt that is located in Area 18 of the Atomic Energy Commission’s Ne-vada Test Site, USA. The crater is 86 m × 29 m in size with 6 m high rim and was formed by a 0.43 kT explosion in March 1962 [4].

This document summarizes those nuclear tests conducted by the United Stiat•s during the period 15 September 1961 through 4 November 1962 in Optrationb NOUGAT, DOMINIC, and DOMINIC HI and the two PLOWSHARE

Sulky, an 85‐ton nuclear cratering experiment, was detonated 90 ft below the surface in the dry basalt of Buckboard Mesa, Nevada Test Site on 18 December 1964 as part of the U.S. Plowshare Program.

Ground shock induced pressures from the nuclear charge were found to attenuate less rapidly than those from chemical explosives. Close in air blast from the Danny Boy event resulted almost entirely from the ground shock induced air blast. Little pressure resulted from venting gases....
