of the bomb until substantially all of the fellout has returned to
earth. The immediate objective will be to exploit the available in-~
formation from REDWING. Combining the knowledge of ficsion energy
released with the data on local fallout at REDWING it may be possible
to estimate the amount of radioactive debris in the stratosphere and
hence the amount of world-wide fallout to be anticipated.
The next
objective will be to apply REDKING and CASTLE data, plua the existing
model, to the planning for the next test series with two purposes in
Mind; First, to refine the model still more; and second, to apply it
directly to the practical problem of minimizing world-wide fallout.
The AEC Commisaioners are cesirous of another fallout briefing when
the above data and related information on 2ELYING fallout has been
further developed to make such a briefing worthwhile.
Till you please advise how much of the above information can be obtained and a tentative date that it could te presented to the Commissiony also, what are the possibilities of a more ecmprehensive fallout
study for Operation *ILGSIM te further develop the theory er a medel
as referred to above?
A falloct symposium, eponscred ty the Commission, is contempleted
Shortly after the first of the calendar year to discuss all the impertant aspects of the problem. It is desired that information developed
as a result of these additional studies be exshanged between the interested parties. It is requested that you designate a member of your
staff to work with our steff to prepare information and to make a presentation et the symposium if you so desire.
