RADIOLOGICAL SAFETY, OPERATION DOMINIC, APRIL NOVEMBER 1962

Abstract

A description is given of the mission, organization, and activities of the Radsafe Branch and temporary support elements, Joint Task Force Eight, during the 1962 nuclear test series conducted in the Pacific Ocean area. The various chapters are devoted to a discussion of the activities engaged in by Radsafe Branch, and the organization necessary to provide radio logical safety support for a weapons test operation of the magnitude of operation dominic. In contrast to previous operations, no fallout of significance occurred as a result of the air drops. Special problems arising from the high altitude events are discussed.
