19 ABSTRACT (Continue on reverse if necessary and identify by block number)

The purpose of this project was to (1) measure the complex gamma field at a number of

positions within 10,000 yards of each of the two underwater nuclear detonations (Wahoo and

Umbrella}; (2) collect lfmtted samples of airborne debris resulting from these detonations;
and (3) expose a number of test panels to this same debris.
The total gamma field was measured by means of about 20 gamma-intensity-time recorders
installed on floating platforms located within a radtus of 10,000 yards from surface zero.
Samples of radioactive materials deposited from the cloud were obtained by incremental
collectors associated with the basic gamma-intensity-time recorders. During both shots,
nearly all of the total gamma dose occurred within 20 minutes after zero time and was due
to the passage of airborne radioactive material.
