Order number 940406-171827950. ABSTRACT

-O0 1-007

Factors which influence the photography of nuclear
detonations are studied. Atmosphere scatte#ing, lens
flare, and turbidity at the emulsion are each given
attention. Nuclear test films from Operation Castle are
analyzed primarily for contrast rendition and edge

sharpness, in the hope that methods will be found to

improve photographic results in the future and in
addition provide some basis for predicting such results
under given weather and photogrammetric conditions.
