The basic objectives of such a policy would appear to
a.
Maximum efficiency in obtaining needed development _
data
b.
Maximum extension of existing data on effects.
ec. Minimum intcrference or coupromise between development and- effects objectives.
d.
rPreservation of necessary sceurity,
e. Maxiimun training and orlentation of personnel in con-
nection with atomic explosions.
f. Early establishisent of yield,
spatial positioning
(air, tower, underground, etc.) and character of shot (s}
3
agninst which erfeets programs can be carefully and logically
designed without continuing cnange.
6, While it is not desirable to separate entirely the
development and effects tests as to planning and cxecution,
the
Commission belieaves Lt desirable to plan a special effects shot
as may be required.
Such a shot will serve to minimize interference
with tests primarily designed for development purposes.
Both types
of shots may include experiments of the secondary type on a non-
interfering basis.
While separate effects shets might be un-
economical from the standpoint of expenditure of fisstonable
material,
the results obtained together With the savings in time,
money, and effort may render them economical from the over-all point
of view.
