configurations

Proof tests of operational radiological-defense systems and overall effectiveness evaluations

The individual project titles, as parts of the field-test fallout
program for the Small Boy shot, are listed in Table 5. The projects,
with a few exceptions, were very successful in meeting their individual

objectives. This general success was due, first, to the detailed development of the project experimental designs on the part of the
project leaders and the efforts of all the project personnel in carrying

out the work and, second, to the favorable winds that carried the fallout

over the established station array. It should be noted that projects
involving the design and testing of sampling equipment for possible use
in future programs were included in the program.
