RADIATION EXPOSURE POTENTIAL.
sonnel
The radiation exposures of project per-
(as opposed to the people inadvertently exposed) were limited to
exposure at the contaminated atolls at the time of evacuation, exposure at
the time of surveys made somewhat later, and exposures during decontamination of evacuation equipment

(primarily aircraft)
at Kwajalein.
Individuals involved in all aspects cannot be ascertained
from project documentation, nor can the exposures recorded in the Consolidated List
(Reference 13)
for identifiable Project 4.1 personnel be iso-
lated to exposure from their participation in Project 4.1 activities.
The
exposures presented in Chapters 8 and 9 should be consulted for the organizations involved.

Tests of Service Equipment and Techniques (Program 6)
This program covered a miscellaneous group of six projects.
Project 6.1 -- Test of Interim Indirect Bomb Damage Assessment
Procedures
Agencies:
,
97th Bombardment Wing, Strategic Air Command,
Biggs AFB, Texas
Operations:
Three B-50s and crews of the 97th Bombardment Wing posi-
tioned on Guam flew to Enewetak 2 to 3 days before each test to pick
up radiofrequency crystals, film badges, and dosimeters.
At detona~
tion they were normally 15, 23, and 30 nmi (27, 42, and 56 km) from
the burst, recording the burst on radarscope photographs.

One of the B-50s was
also required to do crater photography (Reference 69, Number 2-54
Change 5).
Shots:
All.
Radiation Exposure Potential:
The aircraft were at a long slant range
from these burst points and the potential for initial radiation exposure appears small.
The aircraft returned to Enewetak to pick up
