correction of overnight decay.
Readings taken during the day's
operations were corrected back to the initial readings for that
day by applying the -1.2 law.

Preliminary data indicates that salt water washdown is
effective in minimizing contamination of construction surfaces
under the conditions of this test.

Conclusions
The contamination resulting from this detonation is
ms
of a very tenacious nature.

Under the conditions of this contaminating event,
vertical surfaces became more highly contaminated than horizontal
surfaces, with sloped surfaces having intermediate contaminstion.
The contamination as deposited under the conditions of
this test presents a much more difficult removal problem than
