April - June, 1961:
Under the Vela Uniform Whirlaway program, a brief description of the compatibility
in field and environmental tests completed on 4 through 14, April at the NIS is
presented.

"It was established that the Whivleweyy(|device could be

assembled in the assembly building, transported to the tunn@l portal, mounted on
on &@ mine car, moved to the zero point in the tunnel, and positioned within plus
or minus one inch of the zero point.

Compatibility of the black box with the

polyethylene experiment, the zero rack, LRL prompt-sampling pipe, and the two
LASL prompt- sampling pipes was also established.

A concrete pad will be required

at the zero point to provide a stable platformfor the device and the lead paraffin

shielding."
As far as any words addressing any Vela Uniform, Plowshare, or weapons test
activities or preparations, there are none in this report.

That is with the ex-

ception of the Whirlaway tests.

July - September, 1961:
The section on test operations seems to indicate that the number of specific. tests

with bombs, missiles and rockets, and miscellaneous systems has picked up again
in quantity, at least.

For instance, there were 49 Mark 57 bombs tested in various

ways (vibration, fusing and firing, ballistic, parachute development, etc.).
Note that there is absolutely no mention of any test resumption or test preparations either in this report or in the previous Quarterly Reports.
