Blast Effects (Program 3)
This program consisted of five projects.
Project 3.1 -- Air Pressure Measurements

Agency:

Stanford Research Institute (SRI)

Operations:

A concrete structure instrumented to measure blast load-

ing was built on Enidrik.

Equipment records were recovered on D+2 and

D+8, with gauge recovery later by Project 3.2 personnel.

Shots:

KOON (Bikini).

Radiation Exposure Potential:

A potential existed for personnel mak-

ing initial recoveries.
Staffing:

One SRI employee was associated with this project; he re-

ceived 1.615 R.
Project Report:

Reference 59.

Project 3.2 -- Crater Survey

Agencies:

Stanford Research Institute (SRI)

Army Map Service (AMS)
Lookout Mountain Laboratory (LML)
Raydist Navigation Corporation
Holmes & Narver, Inc. (H&N)
ICU-1348

Operations:

Fathometer traverses, lead~line soundings, and photo in-

terpretation were used to measure apparent craters.
was mounted on an ICU that traversed the craters.

The fathometer
Raydist provided

some of the location aids, LML provided photography, usually taken on
burst day from an RB-36 of TG 7.4 TAU, and H&N provided lead-line
soundings.

BRAVO crater was surveyed on D+6; surveys for KOON and

UNION were modified and the data supplemented by information obtained
from other agencies.
Shots:

BRAVO, KOON, UNION (Bikini).

Radiation Exposure Potential:
personnel.

Exposure was possible for survey party

For example, during the post-BRAVO survey, the radiation
