4.12.3 Dose Summary for Operation WIGWAM. The maximum dose limit for WIGWAM was 3.9 rem of gamma radiation for the duration of the operation. The two vessels (YAG-39 and YAG-40) stationed downwind of the detonation were subjected to contamination by water droplets of the base surge. Because of the special shielding, however, none of the YAG personnel exceeded the radiation limit. All doses were low because most of the radioactivity was confined deep under the surface of the water (16: 10,11). WIGWAM was the first series in which nearly all participants were issued film badges. Personnel whose duties were such that exposure to radiation was possible (such as sampling radioactive water, recovering equipment or instruments) were issued additional film badges on a daily basis. One of the vessels, the USS Wright, contained a film processing center where badges were read and personnel exposures were recorded. Over the period of the operation, approximately 10,000 film badges were issued (16: 10).

REDWING was conducted in 1956 as the sixth nuclear test series at the Marshall Islands, specifically at Enewetak and Bikini Atolls. The series consisted of the 17 detonations identified in the accompanying table. Figure 15 presents a photograph taken during the ERIE detonation, the fifth shot of 112
