FOREWORD

Classified material has been removed in order to make the information
available on an unclassified, open publication basis, to any interested
parties.
The effort to declassify this report has been accomplished
specifically to support the Department of Defense Nuclear Test Personnel
Review (NTPR) Program. The objective is to facilitate studies of the low
levels of radiation received by some individuals during the atmospheric
nuclear test program by making as much information as possible available to
all interested parties.
The material which has been deleted is either currently classified as
Restricted Data or Formerly Restricted Data under the provisions of the Atomic
Energy Act of 1954 (as'amended), or is National Security Information, or has
been determined to be critical military information which could reveal system
or equipment vulnerabilities and is, therefore, not appropriate for open
publication.
The Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) believes that though all classified
material has been deleted, the report accurately portrays the contents of the

original. DONA also believes that the deleted material is of little or no
significance to studies into the amounts, or types, of radiation received by
any individuals during the atmospheric nuclear test program.
