Recent Changes in the Ivy Program

PROGRAM 3 - SCIENTIFIC PHOTOGRAPHY

Project 3.3 - Hot-spot Observations
Experimental work at Operation Snapper has suggested certain
minor changes in the technique to be usedon this experiment. In particu-

lar, the pipes will be lengthened from 20 to 35 ft, they will be filled

with helium at the time of the shot, and at least two collimating baffles
will be placed between the mirror system and the cameras on Bogallua.
Recent listings of the programs and projects of Ivy have
neglected to indicate that there are project co-directors of Project 3.3:
Mr. Berlyn Brixner and Dr. Gaelen L. Feit.

PROGRAM 4 - NEUTRON MEASUREMENTS
Project 4.3 - Neutron Spectrum - Nuclear Emlsions
Because of the addition of Project 2.6, this project has been

dropped from the program,

PROGRAM 5 - GAMMA-RAY MEASUREMENTS

Project 5.3 - Fall-out Gamma Intensity
Plans are now being made to turn this project over to Livermore,

a group at the Radiation Laboratory of the University of California at

Berkeley,

It is proposed that they finish designing and building the

equipment necessary for these measurements‘and carry out the measurements

in the field,

Project 5.4a - Fall-out Distribution and Particle Size

Project 5.4b - Close-in Particulate Cloud and Fall-out Studies

Project 5.4a has had the number of land sampling stations

reduced from 8 to 5, and Project 5.4b has had the number of land stations

requiring Holmes and Narver construction reduced from 33 to 12.

However,

H+N is being requested to provide labor to assist in temporary-type construction to house as many of the additional stations as is determined to
be possible after the project personnel arrive at the site. These reductions in stations were made necessary because the present H+N workload
precludes their construction in time to meet the M - 7 deadline. The

number and placement of DAN buoys for Project 5.4a is still being discussed

between the project officer and TG 132.3.
