Operations:
Evaluation of photographic data to predict base~surge ef-
fects from surface detonations.
Photography from other projects was
used,
Shots:
All.
Radiation Exposure Potential:
Slight
(data for the project were from
other units).
Staffing:
Two civilians from NOL, attached to this project, received
total exposures of 0.120 R and 3.165 R.
The individual receiving
3.165 R also participated in Projects l.la, 1.1b, and 1.1d, and probably did not receive significant exposure as part of this project.
Project Report:

Project 1.2a -- Ground Level Pressures from Surface Bursts
Agency:
Sandia Corporation
Operations:
(SC)
Instrumentation was installed on various islands of both
atolls for this project and Projects 1.3 and 1.7.
Measurements for
this project were obtained on blast pressure versus time at ground
levels with Wiancko gauges.
Shots:
All.
Radiation Exposure Potential:
Placement of instruments in areas con-
taminated by prior shots and recovery of data would have posed a po-
tential moderate exposure.
Staffing:
Two civilians from SC were associated with this project;
they had total readings of 1.315 R and 1.195 R, but also participated
in Project 1.3.
