LAAN pressure record, there seams little doubt that a thermal effect occurred on Runit, perhaps to horizontal distances like 10,000 feet. Survey The blast demage on Parry from KIMG shot was vary mech greater than penel sidings ware slighting buckled in, some buildings shifted a fraction of an inch from their foundations. ‘The results are particularly interesting because the peak preasures vere nearly identical.on the two shots. ‘The difference in dumage is due of course to the sharp rise on the shock in KIMG aod the alow rise on MIKE. As pointed out in 5.14033, this slow rise is partly the argument for exploitation of the thermal effect as a defensive meagure against atomic weapons. Te large aircraft hangar on Enivetok was by far the ost vulnerable atrucsture to biast damge in the personnel area. For XING Ehot, the roof exch hed been traced using telephone poles, and a photographic record wes obtained of tha blast wave paging over the hangar. Ko appreciable damage cocurred, exeeyt for nevaralpieces of corrugated siding blowing loose on the back side, from presqure reflections on the interior of the building. vy weve action from water on the reef near ground taro. Tt is entirely pos- sible that the reef vas exposed on Sandia's close-in “water” stations. A battery of rocket lemehes; used by MOL, were completely overt:emmy, ant scattered about one-half mile down blast across Rmit; this too te suggestive of wave action.
