Desert Rock IV exercises were not conducted at Shots EASY sand HOW. The remaining four chapters address each of the four shots in turn. Each chapter describes the specific setting and characteristics of one detonation and details DOD personnel activities in the scientific projects sponsored by the joint organization. In the chapters on FOX and GEORGE, Exercise Desert Rock IV activities are described. The chapters also discuss the radiological protection procedures used to minimize the potential for exposures to ionizing radiation.
