measure the dose of mixed nuclear radiation from an atomic bomb.

Samples were placed in steel pipe stations located 300 to 800 yd from

the tower on Easy Shot. Reasonable and consistent estimates of dose
were obtained, but it is not possible to consider them more than
approximations. Activated potassium bromide crystals and
photoluminescent glass were exposed in unit~-density phantoms ‘at Easy
Shot. These materials have been proposed for use as personnel
dosimeters. Both were energy-dependent, but with this limitation, they
.
were satisfactory dosimeters.

Abstract: This 1951 NTPR report describes an AECM (Architecture,
Engineering, Construction and Maintenance) contract for the Eniwetok

test site. Reconnaissance of Eniwetok Atoll was undertaken in October
1948 to determine the conditions at the site which would affect the
construction of all facilities for a semipermanent proving ground.
Based on this reconnaissance, an engineering report was prepared which
proposed methods and costs of construction of the minimum facilities
then proposed as necessary. Mobilization for construction began in
February 1949, and construction started in July 1949. Support of the
scientific and technical personnel and operations began in December
1951 and was essentially completed at the end of the Operation
Greenhouse in June 1951. The contractor was able to successfully
construct and furnish all items and services requested. At the end of
Operation Greenhouse, the facilities were rolled-up and placed in
maintenance status until such time as build-up begins for a future
operation.
