The Pu, No, and U data for Sho t 11 were obtained act
only four distances and no closer than 510 yards.

The extrapolation

the neutron curve for Shot ll may be somewhat in error, esrecially
at Gistances closer than 510 yards.
The fact that the neutron corrections
exceeded the total dose on the film at 316 yards also indicates that the

The total fast or Pu neutron flux for Shot 3 was estimated using

Pu to S ratio for Shot 11.

OPERATION REDWING

(U) Operation Redwing was conducted at the PPG from May thru July
1956.
The operation consisted of seventeen detonations:
two airdroovs,
five water-surface shots, three Llimited-land-surface 3n ot S, Six tower

(U) Gamma measurements were made by SEL (Reference 47), LASL
(Peference 48), and the US Army Chemical Warfare Laboratories (CWL) (Re?erence 49). LASL attempted to differentiate the initial-gamma-radiations

versus time by using films in "drop gadget" instruments during Shots
Lakota, Navajo, and Tewa,

Only data from Shot Navajo were usable.

(U) SEL obtained initial gamma data from Shots Zuni, Flathead, Daxoza,

navajo, and Tewa.
The NBS film badge positioned in 4 number or different
shields was used as the primary dosimeter,
