Project 3.3 -- Blast Effects on Tree Stand
Agencies:

U.S. Forest Service

(USFS)

Ballistic Research Laboratories (BRL)

Operations:

To determine blast effects on tree stands, natural stands

on Jelete, Lukoj, and Enidrik were used as indicators of effects.

Be-

cause of expected contamination from BRAVO and ROMEO, all project work
was completed before BRAVO except arming of gauges.

BRL (Project 1. 2b)

installed self-recording, static, overpressure, and dynamic pressure
gauges.

Participation was planned for KOON only, but the unexpectedly

large radius of @ffects from BRAVO provided additional data.
Shots:

BRAVO, KOON (Bikini).

Radiation Exposure Potential:

Possible exposure for those making post-

shot inspection photographs of tree stands.
Staffing:

Two civilians, both from USFS, were associated with this

project and received 3.040 and 2.825 R.
