spots on the landing gear, perhaps due to operating from the same runway used by sampler aircraft, as the Project 6.2a B~36D di

Project 6.2b -- Thermal Effects on B-47B Aircraft In Flight
Agencies:
Allied Research Associates
(ARA)
Cook Research Laboratories
(CRL)
Wright Air Development Center (WADC)
Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory (NRDL)
Operations:
A B-47B aircraft (No. 50-037), used in similar experi-
ments during IVY, was flown in five shots to determine ther al effects.
Instrumentation and aircraft positioning were deter ined by
WADC, NRDL provided measurements, and CRL installed and mai ntained the
instrumentation.
Shots:
BRAVO, ROMEO, KOON, UNION (Bikini); NECTAR (Eneweta ry.
Radiation Exposure Potential:
The range of the aircraft fr
limited the possibility of initial radiation exposure of th@
crew.
