TRAINING
A.
Tumbler-Snapper Training
i
Operation Tumbler-Snapper which was completed@uring this
report period provided excellent training for many of the personnel
concerned with Operation Ivy.
Many of the ideas and methods and
much of the equipment were tested under field conditions.
The results
are now being evaluated and several revisions of the Ivy program may
be attributed to lessons learned at Nevada.
These revisions will be
discussed in some detail in the Test Programs portion of this install-
ment (Sec. VII).
The F-84G aircraft participation in cloud sampling missions
during Operation Snapper gave first-hand experience for those who
will fly cloud penetrations during Operation Ivy.
Studies of the
dependence of airplane contamination on surface treathent and studies
of major sources of background radiation after cloud penetration were
made.
The results of these studies will be applged to decreasing the
background radiation on the F-8kG's on Ivy.
