amount of protection from direct blast effects that may be provided by
foxholes of uniform dimensions located within distances of a nuclear
explosion that are recognized as lethal for combinations of thermal and
ionzing radiations and indirect blast injuries. Sixteen dogs protected
in foxholes were exposed in pairs to the nuclear detonation. Autopsies

performed between 10 and 15 hours after the blast demonstrated mild to

moderately severe lung hemorrhages and three instances of miid to
moderately severe brain hemorrhage. Ruptured ear drums and blast damage
to abdominal viscera were infrequent. Evidences of acute ionizing
radiation injury consisted in decreases in absolute lymphocyte counts
and changes in lymph nodes and spleens. Photographs and diagrams of
foxholes, animals, and tissue speciments; graphs of blast pressures,
gamma doses, and neutron fluxes are included.

Abstract: The primary objective of this experiment was to obtain accurate
information on the pressure in the shock wave in the free-air region.
In particular, it was desired to know the peak pressure as a function
of distance in this region. Secondary objectives were to determine the
path of the triple point and to determine the peak pressure in the
Mach~stem region.
