Abstract: This report describes the procedures followed in measuring the
transit time of the atomic explosions evaluated in Operation
Greenhouse. It includes a description of the equipment used, the
installations made, and the results obtained. Transmit time
measurements were obtainded for the Easy, George and Item Shots; and on
the whole, the transit-time recording equipment performed well.

Abstract: The object of this study was to measure the relationship between
the spatial distribution of the radioactive fission products and the
resultant radioactive field in an atomic-bomb cloud. Data obtained by
the high-intensity rate meters and the jet impactors lead to the
following conclusions: (1) There is a definite correlation between the
particulaté fission-particle density and the gamma-radiation intensity
measured within the cloud; (2) The effective energy of the gamma
radiation within the atomic bomb cloud is quite low, being of the order
of 200 kev; (3) The structure of the atomic bomb cloud resembles a
