Blast Effects (Program 3)
This program consisted of five projects.
Project 3.1 -- Air Pressure Measurements
Agency:
Stanford Research Institute
Operations:
(SRI)
A concrete structure instrumented to measure blast lodd-
ing was built on Enidrik.
Equipment records were recovered on D+2Jand
D+8, with gauge recovery later by Project 3.2 personnel.
Shots:
KOON (Bikini).
Radiation Exposure Potential:
A potential existed for personnel magk-
ing initial recoveries.
Staffing:
One SRI employee was associated with this project; he r@q-
ceived 1.615 R.
Project Report:
Reference 59.
Project 3.2 -- Crater Survey
Agencies:
Stanford Research Institute (SRI)
Army Map Service (AMS)
Lookout Mountain Laboratory (LML)
Raydist Navigation Corporation
Holmes & Narver, Inc. (H&N)
LCu-1348
Operations:
Fathometer traverses, lead-line soundings, and photo
terpretation were used to measure apparent craters.

some of the location aids, LML provided photography, usually taken
on
burst day from an RB=~36 of TG 7.4 TAU, and H&N provided lead-line
soundings.
BRAVO crater was surveyed on D+6; surveys for KOON an
UNION were modified and the data supplemented by information obtained
from other agencies.
