The Mountain Iron Diffusion Program: Phase 1. South Vandenberg: Volume 1

Abstract

Field diffusion experiments were conducted at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, during 1965 and 1966. This program, nicknamed 'Mountain Iron, ' was undertaken to establish quantitative diffusion predictions for use as range safety tools in the 'South Vandenberg' ballistic and space vehicle operations. The only pollutant source character studied was toxic propellant materials released continuously from ground level pools. This volume contains the operational applications and limitations of the equations and other results obtained.
