Operations:
Evaluation of photographic data to predict base-surge
fects from surface detonations.
Ff-
Photography from other projects waBb
used.
Shots:
All.
Radiation Exposure Potential:
Slight
(data for the project were frpm
other units).
Staffing:
Two civilians from NOL, attached to this project, received
total exposures of 0.120 R and 3.165 R.
The individual receiving
3.165 R also participated in Projects l.la, 1.1b, and 1.1d, and prdb-
ably did not receive significant exposure as part of this project.

Project 1.2a ~- Ground Level Pressures from Surface Bursts
Agency:
Sandia Corporation (SC)
Operations:
Instrumentation was installed on various islands of bdth
atolls for this project and Projects 1.3 and 1.7.
Measurements fo#
this project were obtained on blast pressure versus time at ground
levels with Wiancko gauges.
Shots:
All.
Radiation Exposure Potential:
Placement of instruments in areas TT
taminated by prior shots and recovery of data would have posed a p
tential moderate exposure.
Staffing:
Two civilians from SC were associated with this project
they had total readings of 1.315 R and 1.195 R, but also participafed
in Project 1.3.
