what the status of the field had been after its initial reactivation the
day before by TE 132.4.1.1.

Nor is it clear where those men spent the

night.

By 1230 the island's power and telephone systems were in operation

again.

By 1600 all the facilities on the island had been essentially

reactivated (IPO 132.2#1, p. IX-1).

By four days postshot all units of

TG 132.1 were ashore (IPO 132.1#2, MIKE Inst).

Reentry and data recovery near the shot island was -appak@nety-done two
and three days following the shot when the areas had sufficiently cooled
so that some minutes could be spent at an instrument station before

possible overexposure (IPO 132#1, p. 286).

A particular data recovery

mission at Boken is discussed in some detail in Chapter 4 under Program 2.
