portion of the project, three stations on Runit were used at
distances of 1,200, 1,700 and 2,200 yards from ground zero.
Recovery for this project was combined with the recovery for
Projects 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, 5.1, and 8.1 the day after KING.
It was
expected to take about 4 hours (Table 4.6, Mission 12).
Radiation Exposure Potential:
A ground reading at Bokombako 3
days after the MIKE shot is not available, but at 4 days the
reading was 10 R/hr.
At Kirunu, no ground reading is available
before 9 November (8 days after MIKE) when it was 2.5 R/hr, which
would probably have made it about 10 R/hr on 5 Nov (D+4).
10 days after the shot it was between 2.2 and 3.3 R/hr
(Appendix C).
At Louj
as
Limited recovery was not allowed on Bokinwotme
until 75 hours after the shot (see Table 4.2).
c cemmer!
At 0726 the day
after KING, radiation on Runit varied between 0.001 and 0.100 R/hr
(Appendix C).
Staffing:
The 5x8 cards show that 8 men were involved with
Project 5.2.
Six were civilians, four of which were from LASL and
two from the Radiation Lab of the University of California
(Berkeley).
Two naval officers, whose duty station was given as
LASL, completed the identified project personnel.
shown in Table 4.4.
