Abstract: This document lists chronologically and alphabetically by event
name all nuclear tests conducted and announced by the United States
from July 1945 to December 1990 with the exception of the GMX
experiments. Discussion is included on test dates, test series, test
yields, test locations, test types and purposes, test totals for Nevada
Test Site (NTS) detection of radioactivity from NTS events, and
categorization of NTS nuclear tests. Briefly discussed are agreements
between the US and the Soviet Union regarding test banning. (MB)

Abstract: A neutron induced fission track method was successfully developed
for assaying {sup 239}Pu in human urine. The technique involves means
to remove potentially interfering natural uranium from the sample and
