Operation SNAPPER. Project 2.3. Neutron Flux Measurements

Abstract

The objective of Project 2.3 was to provide measurements of neutron flux for the interpretation of biological studies and the study of neutron dosimetry techniques. It was the goal of the project to cover as thoroughly as possible the neutron spectrum encountered in the detonation of the nuclear fission bombs. In this endeavor Project 2.3 was to augment the work of the AEC Laboratories and try experimental techniques on a field trial basis.
