Title: Operation Castle. Project 6.2a. Blast and thermal effects on B-36 aircraft in flight Corporate Source: Defense Atomic Support Agency, Washington, DC (USA) Publication Date: Jun 1956 p 166 Report Number(s): AD-338333 Document Type: Report Language: English Journal Announcement: EDB8107 Availability: NTIS, PC A08/MF AOl. Subfile: BRA (Energy Research Abstracts); NTS (NTIS). Country of Origin: United States Country of Publication: United States Abstract: The responses of a B-36 aircraft to the effects of a nuclear detonation at levels approaching the thermal and blast limitations of the aircraft were determined. A B-36D aircraft was instrumented and flown in the vicinity of each of the six shots of the CASTLE sequence. Time-history input and response measurements constituted the main instru mentation effort. For the first five shots, the aircraft was positioned at predicted near-limiting inputs in a simulated delivery configuration, that is, flying away from the explosion. On Shot 6, the aircraft was headed toward the ex plosion to obtain initial experimental data for this orientation. In addition to the measured data, together with photographs and descriptions of the damage, this report contains pertinent ob servations as reported by the flight crew. Suf ficient dre obtained to fulfill the specific objective of the project. A comparison between the experimental data and theoretically-predicted responses is made.; Major Descriptors: *AIRCRAFT -- BLAST EFFECTS; *AIRCRAFT -- TEMPERATURE EFFECTS; *CASTLE PROJECT; *NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS -- SHOCK WAVES; *NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS -- THERMAL RADIATION Descriptors: GAMMA RADIATION; VULNERABILITY Broader Terms: ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION; EXPLOSIONS; IONIZING RADIATIONS; NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS; RADIATIONS Subject Categories: 450200* -- Military Technology, Defense -- Nuclear Explosions & Explosives 10/5/749 00874628 Author(s): Weaponry, & National (Item 449 from file: 103) ERA-07-022746; EDB-82-049469 Vine, F.S.; Owen, W.L.

(1) to proof test a proposed standard recovery procedure for the tactical decontamination of Navy ships and (2) to perform, as required, an operational decontamination ef each of three test ships to enable them to make their next scheduled participation. Three washdown-equipped test ships, the YAG-39, the YAG-40, and the LST-611, served as fallout-collection stations and test 9003933 Document
