This book was released on 1958 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of Part I of Project 39.3 was to measure transient air temperatures at selected locations in the blast-biology underground shelter in Area 1 for shot Galileo, Operation Plumbbob. The objective of Part II of Project 39.3 was to evaluate thermal burns from a nuclear explosion on biological receivers in a shelter. Eight Chester White pigs were used as test animals. One pig in the entrance and one about 3 ft inside the door received severe burns. These burns were carbonized on the surface and caused transepidermal damage with up to 0.3 mm penetration into the dermis. Animals away from the entrance and those in the slow fill side received no burns. The possible sources of this damaging thermal energy are discussed.

This book was released on 1959 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of temperature measuring experiments conducted for Rainier shot, Operational Plumbbob are described. The temperature distribution in the surrounding tuff resulting from the detonation of an underground nuclear device yielding 1.7 kilotons of energy has been measured. Data indicate peak temperatures in the vicinity of 90 C existing in the central regions which drop rapidly to approach ambient temperatures at distances of about 180 feet from the original ground zero. Based on measurements taken in three holes drilled into the central regions, contours of constant temperature are constructed. The temperature picture is consistent with the consideration that most of the heat entered the water contained originally in the tuff and the unconsolidated material which filled the cavity after its initial collapse. The amount of energy contained in the central regions in the form of tuff heated to below 90 C is roughly estimated to be greater than one-half of the total energy release. An unsuccessful attempt to measure the temperature rise across the shock front of the pressure wave produced by the detonation is described, and reasons for failure are discussed. (Author).

This book was released on 1962 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project 30.2 was conducted to test a reinforced-concrete dual-purpose underground parking garage and personnel shelter designed for a long-duration incident pressure of 40 psi. The shelter was exposed to shot Priscilla, an approximately 37-kt 700-ft balloon burst (June 24, 1957), at a ground range of 1600 ft (predicted 35-psi peak incident-pressure level). The recorded peak incident pressure at the shelter was approximately 39 psi. Postshot soil boring were made to obtain undisturbed samples for determining soil characteristics. Preshot and postshot field surveys were made to determine the total lateral and vertical displacement of the structure. Blast instrumentation consited of Wiancko pressure gauges, Carlson earth-pressure gauges, dynamic-pressure gauges, and a self-recording pressure gauge. Structural response was recorded by Ballistic Research Laboratories deflection gauges. Radiation measurements were taken using film dosimeters, gamma-radiation chemical dosimeters, and one gamma-rate telemetering unit. (Author).

This book was released on 1957 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective was to determine the velocity and distance of translation of anthropomorphic dummies and equivalent spheres caused by blast winds. The primary technique for recording the movement of these objects was photo-triangulation. Analysis of the films obtained thereby gave the velocity and distance in the case of shot 1. In shot 2, the field of view was obscured by smoke (perhaps dust too) before any motion could be recorded by the cameras. The secondary technique (applicable to certain of the equivalent spheres) was to have the spheres impelled into missile traps. The resultant penetration provides a means for determining the velocity at the time of impact. Analysis of the results from both the primary and secondary techniques is expected to provide some of the information identified in the objective.
