Results:
Dose rates in the mushroom portion of the cloud were exactly as
predicted.

Dose rates in the stem of the cloud below the mushroom were

a factor of ten below predicted dose rates in the cloud at the times of
penetration,

The highest dose rate was recorded by the aircraft which penetrated
at an altitude of 50,000 feet at A,] minutes.

The average dose rate in

the cloud which this aircraft experienced was about 150 R/Hr. The time
in the cloud was about 3 minutes, giving a dose of 7.5 to the pilot while
in the cloud and 1.3 R on the return flight.

The contamination factor on

the airplane was computed to be 0.5 per cent/minute in the cloud.

The

total dose recorded by a Rad-Safe film badge was 7590 mr.
The duration of the penetration made at 45,000 feet was two minutes

and 50 seconds.

It began at # 38 minutes.

The average dose rate in the

cloud was about 75 R/Hr, yielding a total dose in the cloud of about 3 R.
The contamination factor on the aircraft was computed to be 0.6% /minute
in the cloud.

This corresponded to a come home dose of about 0.5 R.

The

total dose recorded by a Rad-Safe film badge was 2230 mr.
The dosages received by the two aircraft which penetrated at 35,000

feet and 40,000 feet were quite low.
260 mr respectively.

The total mission dose was 150 and

These aircraft were in the radiation field of the

cloud for from 60 to 180 seconds.

Again on this shot, as on the RR cemoxe and the

DELETED.

it was noted that the dose rate was lower in the stem of the cloud than
in the mushroom by a factor of at least ten.

The pilots reported none to slight turbulence in the cloud,
