Flights were accomplished on D, D4 1,042 anid 43 days
with one aireraft.
The area north of Bikini Atoll Crom 315° to 45° T to aw distance
of about 175 miles was covered by the surweys.
The contaminai.d area
extended north of Sikind aprroximately 125 miles between the bearings
340° and 30° T.
The aircraft Program 2 Control Center telemeter system 1143 not

The radiation ie‘ector system cperate!d and on D ¢ 1 through D ¢ 3
the intensity measure? at the aircraft was relayed to the Program 2
Plot Center via voice radio.
With this data it was possible to cone
