Distribution and Characteristics of Fall-Out at Distances Greater than 10 Miles from Ground Zero, March and April 1953

Abstract

Project 27.1 of the Civil Effects Test Group performed detailed studies of the physical phenomenon of fall-out to provide information basic to the proper evaluation of the possible hazards associated with fall-out. The project functioned during Shots 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 of Operation Upshot-Knothole; samples and measurements were taken along existing trails and roads which crossed the various fall-out patterns at distances greater than 10 miles from Ground Zero.
