Electronic component parts were placed in special test circuits to emphasize the property to be measured.
The signals were fed into a magnetic-
tape recorder, which recorded the performance of the components during the
detonation.
In addition, the telemetering points of a Corporal fuze sy:¢t
were monitored, and departure from normal operating level was recorded cn
the tape.
At the time this report was prepered, the project was still participat-
ing.
A brief description will be given, however, of the project's purtici-~
pation during two shots.

THERMAL RADI:.TICN MEASURED NTS ,
It was the purpose of the program to:
1.
Study the effects of megaton rance atomic wezpons on meterials and
to evaluate a skin simuilant as a substitute for animate skin in these
studies,
2. Obtain spectroscopic measurements on a high altitude burst of thermal
irradiance as a function of time.
%,
3. leasure by photographic means the fireball size of a high altitude
burst as a function of time.
ee by,
Obtain a photographic record with high time and spectral resolution 33
