Physical measurements of gamma-radiation dose, as a function of distance from the point of detona tion, were made on 15 shots of Operation Plumbbob. Dental film packs housed in film-badge holders were used to make the measurements. The results of measurements taken in various shelters and in experimental structureslso presented.
