including the Atom Baker Bikini is presented. The various theories of explosive wave making are discussed and comparisons are made between the observations and the theoretical expectations. Scaling laws are case) The influence of the examined for the two distinct cases: and explosion bubble blowout explosion bubble containment (shallow case). (deep sea bottom is considered. A general conclusion is reached that it is possible to reconcile theory and experiment within a factor of two with regard to wave amplitude and within a few percent with regard to wave period. The number of experiments which are directly applicable to the conditions imposed by theory is limited. Theory in some cases assumes the presence of a rigid bottom, and in other cases no bottom at all; whereas ‘in most experiments a non rigid bottom is present. A synthesis of all these results is made leading to a semiempirical prescription by which explosively generated waves may be predicted. The conclusions are not inconsistent with later work in this field done in the last decade. f Major Descriptors: SCALING LAWS Descriptors: *NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS -- WATER WAVES; UNDERWATER EXPLOSIONS Broader Terms: EXPLOSIONS Subject Categories: 450200* -- Military Technology, Defense -- Nuclear Explosions & Explosives 10/5/974 00238327 Author(s): *WATER WAVES -- (Item 674 from file: 103) INS-77-009323; ERA-02-036188; Noshkin, V.E.; Robison, W.L.; Weaponry, EDB-77-076278 Wong, K.M.; Eagle, & National R.J.

Based on analyses of these samples, we found that the cistern water from Bikini Island is both chemically and radiologically acceptable as drinking water in accordance with standard limits established by the U.S. Public Health Service. However, on both islands the quality of the groundwater varied from one site to another. At some wells both chemical and radiological quality are acceptable; at others one or both are unacceptable according to U.S. Public Health Standards. The doses we predict from consumption of both cistern and groundwater are acceptable under federal guidelines. However, doses predicted from consumption of groundwater are high enough to warrant careful evaluation of other potential exposure pathways. ;
