The actual passage of the project drone ships through
the fall-out is graphically presented in Fig. 1.
From the re-
covery points, the ships were returned to Parry where survey,
recovery of samples and recorded data, and decontamination
were accomplished.
The proposed course was 80° but it was impossible to
turn the YAG-40 to that course due to @ personnel error occurring during debarking.
This inactivated radio control of course
only; recurrence will be prevented“in the future by an additional
check which has been introduced. Attempts to keep the YAG-39
with the YAG-40 failed due to malfunction of radio control apparatus which converted a speed change to a shut down signal.
The net effect was that the two ships cannot be said to have
been subjected to even approximately the same fall-out.

Gamma radiation was measured continuously at stations
equipped each with 3 or 4 incremental dose fon chambers.
On the
VAG-39 there were 65 such stations and on the YAG~40 there were
72 vith ink-on-paper recorders in central recording rooms.
There
were no failures but performance was substandard on 6% of the
