ABSTRACT (Continue on reverse side if necessary and identify by block number)

Operation REDWING
Fallout
Surface Radiation

The

general

obj ective

was

to

obtain data sufficient to characterize the fallout, interpret the aerial and oceanographic survey results, and check fallout-model theory for Shots Cherokee, Zuni,
Flathead, Navajo, and Tewa during Operation REDWING. Detailed measurements of fall-

out buildup were planned. Measurements of radiation characteristics and physical,
chemical, and radiochemical properties of individual solid and slurry particles and
total cloud and fallout samples were also planned, along with determinations of the

surface densities of activity and environmental components in the fallout at each

major station.
