His technical interests continue to relate to the safety of
nuclear explosions and their effects on man, his structures, and
his environment.

Eric T. Clarke received his Ph.D. in nuclear physics at
MIT in 1944.
In 1949 he participated in a program for long-range

detection of nuclear explosions that succeeded in identifying the

first Russian detonation through fallout analysis.

From 1956 to

1967 he was in charge of, or closely associated with, various
research studies performed by Technical Operations, Inc. for the
predecessors of the Defense Nuclear Agency and the Defense Civil
Preparedness Agency to determine the probable deposition and the
radiation characteristics of fallout.
He helped to organize a

weapons effects group for, and in 1966 was the chairman of, the
American Nuclear Society's Shielding Division.

Frank Cluff joined the Weather Bureau in 1946 as a Weather
Observer. He continued in that employment for over 20 years,

except for time out to obtain a B.S. degree in 1950 and an M.S.
degree in 1956, both in meteorology at the University of Utah.
In 1967 he joined the AEC, becoming Deputy Test Manager at the

AEC's Nevada Test Site.

He is now retired.

Robert E. Heft received his Ph.D. in physical chemistry

at the University of Chicago in 1953.

He has engaged in

research concerning the physical and chemical properties of
the particle populations generated by nuclear detonations.

He was with the Air Force Technical Application Center until
1963 and since that time has been with the bio-environmental
group at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory.
Carl F. Miller received his M.S.

in physical chemistry

from the University of California at Berkeley in 1948 and his
Ph.D. from Iowa State University at Ames in 1951. He has been

concerned with research on the formation, distribution, and
deposition of fallout and the hazards due to the radiations
therefrom as well as on various civil defense coutermeasures
to provide protection against these hazards.
He participated
in research projects covering several nuclear weapon field-test
operations at the Nevada Test Site and at the Pacific Proving
Grounds in the period of 1952 to 1962.
These activities and

research on civil defense subjects were performed while Dr.
Miller was employed by the U.S. Naval Radiological Defense
Laboratory, the Office of Civil Defense (as an Assistant

Research Director), and the Stanford Research Institute; Dr. Miller
is presently a staff member of The Dikewood Corporation.
