OPERATION SUNBEAM, SHOTS LITTLE FELLER II and JOHNIE BOY. Project Officer's Report - Project 2.16. Residual Radiation in the Crater and Crater-Lip Area of Low-Yield Nuclear Devices

Abstract

The objective of this project was to obtain information about the residual radiation environment in the crater and crater-lip area resulting from the employment of low-yield fission weapons. The information needed specifically was (1) the change in intensity with time; (2) the change in mean-gamma-energy level with time; and (3) the activity-level variation with depth in the soil.
