CASTLE, YANKEE predicted fallout pattern, based on the method
of elliptical approximations; contours enclose the 100-, 50-,
and 10-R infinite dose areas (source:
Reference 16).
The instrument station locations on the islands of the atoll are shown
in Figure 86.
The details of each project are given in Chapter 3.
The
locations of the task force fleet are given in Figure 87.
The aerial sampling effort for YANKEE was reduced to about one-half

This was done to enable TG 7.4 to participate in the

Nine F-84s, one FB-36,
and one WB-29 sampler were used in YANKEE.
