Operation PLUMBBOB, Nevada Test Site, May-October 1957. Project 37.4, Measurement and Permanent Recording of Fast Neutrons by Effects on Germanium Dosimeters.
Abstract
Laboratory and field experiments relative to the use of semiconductor fast-neutron dosimeters which were pursued on a small scale in Operation Upshot-Knothole and Operation Teapot were continued. Considerable improvements in methodology and procedures of dosimeter preparation leading to increased accuracy, reproducibility and sensitivity were obtained in interim laboratory studies. Results obtained during Operation Plumbbob that take advantage of these improvements are reported. (Author)
