Abstract: This report consists of drawings and tabular data pertinent to
the various measurements performed in Operation GREENHOUSE. The
drawings represent the plans for the cable installations, recorder
stations, power and signal lines, and other equipment used in the
measurement of prompt gamma rays, alpha, transit time, neutron
intensity (Tenex), and thermal radiation.

Abstract: This 1951 NTPR report describes experiments conducted in
Operation Greenhouse at Eniwetok on certain processes and materials
associated with contamination and decontamination phenomena. For this
type of contaminating event, in which surfaces are contaminated by
being carried by aircraft through an atomic cloud, information was
obtained which will assist in development of effective protective
measures and recovery measures from contaminating atomic detonations.
The contaminant which was deposited on surfaces mounted on drone planes
was shown to be nonuniform under various contaminating conditions, both
as to distribution and composition. Data have been obtained on the
relative importance of such surface characteristics as roughness,
porosity, retentivity, and contact angle. The relative behavior of

various chemical agents as decontaminants was determined and use of
industrial cleaning methods employing chemical additives to effect
decontamination was investigated.
