Shot

The array planned for the first shot is shown in Figs. <.5 and
2.6. This wus consijered to be a reasonable effort based upon rehearsal
experience. Heavy seas prevented plac:ment of all except the portion
shown in Fiz. <.6. This citempt to sample the fallout was unsuccessful
because the prizary fallout occurred in another sector. This failure

indicated the importance of huving a 360° array around ground zero.

Shot 2

The originul plan for Shot 2 called for a complete 360° array

similar to thet planned for Shot 1. A portion cf this plan was executed
