Blast Effects (Program 3)
This program consisted of five projects.
Project 3.1 -- Air Pressure Measurements
Agency:

Stanford Research Institute

Operations:

(SRI)

A concrete structure instrumented to measure blast lodd-

ing was built on Enidrik.

Equipment records were recovered on D+2Jand

D+8, with gauge recovery later by Project 3.2 personnel.

Shots:

KOON (Bikini).

Radiation Exposure Potential:

A potential existed for personnel magk-

ing initial recoveries.
Staffing:

One SRI employee was associated with this project; he r@q-

ceived 1.615 R.
Project Report:

Reference 59.

Project 3.2 -- Crater Survey
Agencies:

Stanford Research Institute (SRI)
Army Map Service (AMS)
Lookout Mountain Laboratory (LML)
Raydist Navigation Corporation
Holmes & Narver, Inc. (H&N)

LCu-1348

Operations:

Fathometer traverses, lead-line soundings, and photo

some of the location aids, LML provided photography, usually taken

on

soundings.

BRAVO crater was surveyed on D+6; surveys for KOON an

UNION were modified and the data supplemented by information obtained
from other agencies.
