Oa) or "EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAMS 6, Series. Eight (8) experimental programs were conducted as set forth in the JCS 1998 Minor additions and alterations to programs were made under authority grant-- ed the Commander, Joint Task Force THREE (CJTF-3). has not been analyzed or evaluated. Much of the experimental data The conclusions presented herein are those that can be drawn at the present time. 7. PROGRAM 1.0 — LOS ALAMOS EXPERIMENTS The objectives of this program were threefold: to measure the performance of each of the weapons and devices described above; to increase bagic knowledge in phenomenology such as blast, thermal and nuclear radiation; and to develop methods of measuring weapon performance by simple, remote means, a. WEAPON PERFORMANCE Three (3) diagnostic measurements were made for cach weapon and device; ; wey ig Be pf BOTS transit time (time from firing signal to first nuclear reaction), alpha (rate of rise of the nuclear reaction) and yield, Transit time moasuroments on all detonations agreed very closely to predicted values which indicated that cach high explosive system reacted as expected, Alpha measurements on each of the " eretimsedcoreteerry - iiee first three detonations agreed very closcly with predicted values, j eri PENora MEMEStye BIEgine Meat voy Napa gp tbrEE b.
