From 1945 to 1962 the United States conducted several series of underwater,
Surtace, and above-surtace nuclear tests. The Detense Nuclear Agency (DNA)
was, in 1978 assigned
as Department of Detense's
(DoD) Executive Agent to
conduct a program to identify DoD participants, determine radiation doses,
and write histories of the series. This fact sheet summarizes information
on OPERATION CASTLE, one of those test series. Further information can be
obtained trom DNA Report #6035F.
