Radiation Exposure Potential:

A slight potential existed for ali

crews and for the personnel decontaminating aircraft after flights.] The
exposures accrued by the RB-36 crew, however, while acting as photo

aircraft for this project for 10 minutes after burst, were far outweighed by those accrued over the next several hours while acting a

Burst-time altitude for the RB-36

The three C-54 aircraft were use

by the Documentary Photography element after H+l.

They were at 10,900

to 14,000 feet (3.05 to 4.27 km) altitude and 40 to 60 nmi (74 to 1l4fl
km) from ground zero, except on YANKEE when they were 90 to 100 nmi
(167 to 185 km) distant.
