Cwupter le CLECLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Teac amd Orange shots are only the opening rounds of aany which will be required before adequate umlerstanding is achieved of fiuclear burst outputs and of their interaction with the ambient envirorment above 100,000 feet. Recummendations and conclusions are included in each of the separate chapters and represent the views of the individual authors. Many of the par- ticulariy pucsling itezs which remain unsolved are gathered together in Chapter 1 and will not be restated here. There are broad regioes of potentially important phenocena which are yee alsost completely undocumented experinentally and which require bursts at altitudes above lov kilometers. As a general récoamendatiuon, any well-instrupented and well-planned burst at an altitude of 100 kilometers (350,000 fect) or higher would be extrezely valuable in providing facts and understanding sf the physical phenomena produced by burst outputs and of the potential application of these Oulpuls. Many engineering, scientific, and operational probleas were net during the tests covered by this report which had never been encountered before in nuclear testing. If the United Scares plans to develop a capability to do rocket-borne delivery ant diagnostics on nuclear device tests, a cuntinusus, long-tera effort cust be established in order to efficiently meet che challenge of these unt w2 Lest reguiremenrts. te
