mene os Shree ee ree Further tests did occur in the Pacific, but they were in the vicinity of Johnston Island and Christmas Island so far to the east that there was no effect upon Eniwetok Atoll. ‘These tests followed the 1 September 1961 accouncement by’ the USSR of its intention to resume nuclear testing. USSR tests occurred within days of this announcement. The Many months later the United States started testing under a series called Operation Dominic, but, as just stated, not at Eniwetok Atoll. This test series was completed by the end of 1962 and was followed by the Limted Test Ban Treaty, which was signed in September 1963. This Treaty permitted only those tests that did not result in radiation going beyond the national boundaries, and so effectively limited tests to being underground. Although underground tests have been conducted in the continental United States and at Amchitka , in Alaska, none have been conducted at Eniwetok Atoll. In these test series, a total of 43 nuclear detonations or attempts at nuclear detonations have been made at Eniwetok Atoll. The number of tests either on individual islands or closest to these islands is as follows for the total of 43 tests at Eniwetok Atoll: 18 10 4 3 2 Li 1 1 1 1 1 ~ Runit Enjebi Island Name Marshallese Aomon Eberiru Bogallua Runit Enjebi Eluklap Aomon Aleleron Bokoluo Bogeirik Rujiyoru Buganegan Bogan Bokaidrik Lujor Mut Bokon Other ose er Board of Geo, Name US Code Name Yvonne Janet Flora* Sally Ruby Alice Elugelab Aranit Dridrilbwiu RR ee Senge! ce ree mame Number of Tests Gene*** Helen Pearl Henry Irwin Miu Pokon *This island no longer exists.
