Abstract: Soil samples were exposed to neutron radiation from Shot Cherokee
to help establish the importance of neutron-induced residual gamma
radiation. After exposure and recovery, the samples had no detectable
activity because the slant range to the nearest sample was nearly 3.5

miles, due to an error in bomb drop. After this failure,

an experiment

was designed in the field for Shot Yuma in order that induced-activity
data could be obtained for a soil other than Nevada Test Site soil.
Samples of sodium, manganese, and coral sand from Site Sally were
exposed above and below the surface at a slant range of 120 yards. The
difference between the effects of pure fission and fission-fusion
neutron spectra on induced activity in soil was not measured,

since the

soil samples on Shot Cehrokee were not activated. However, a method for
predicting neutron-induced gamma-radiation intensities was tested for
coral soil on Shot Yuma. Predicted values were within + or
induced dose rates inferred from field measurements.

Abstract: Measurements were made to determine the difference in blast
effects over a surface covered with low shrubs and grass and over a
cleared sahdy surface in the precursor region, and an attempt was made
to correlate this difference with measurements of preshock sound speed
over the surface. Overpressure was measured with ground-baffle gages

and with pivot-static gages at 3-foot elevations. Dynamic pressures
