This book was released on 1948 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two tanks (type M-5) were modified and provided with radio control equipment so that these tanks could be directed by remote control to a designated spot and a sample of earth procured in a scoop mounted on the front of the vehicle. Control transmitters were provided so that the vehicles could be operated from a distance, either from a stationary platform or from a helicopter in flight. The special tanks performed satisfactorily and accomplished the mission for which they were designed. However, the operation demonstrated that changes in the design of the vehicles are desirable. For any future operation under similar conditions, a lighter, wide-track vehicle, is recommended.

This book was released on 1948 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The facts and events presented here will serve as a brief summary of various activities in chronological order which are presented for the purpose of acquainting those who are interested with the necessary preparations on the part of Sandia Base personnel who were involved in Operation Sandstone. This report is not meant to be a complete historical document and will, therefore, include only those phases in which Sandia Base (Z-Division) participated. However, in order to prepare this work intelligently, it is felt that a brief outline and overlap of the entire organization is essential material and worthy of review for background. The Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory had realized since late in 1946 that only through field tests and actual detonation with proper instrumentation could the experimental designs of atomic weapons be proven and thereby obtain verification of theoretical calculations. To this extent then, on April 3, 1947, the General Advisory Committee recommended that serious consideration be given a proposed test program.

Hedberg and published by . This book was released on 1948 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Section LAJ-16 was made a part of Task Group 7.1 for the purpose of initiating and maintaining an accurate file of maps and wiring diagrams, showing the positions of all Los Alamos and Service experimental installations at the Eniwetok Proving Grounds. Proper location of all underground cables between stations occupied a prominent place in the initial planning. In order to effectively coordinate the cable installations with the main construction program, this section assumed the responsibility of acting as liaison among other LAJ sections and the Service Units designated to perform the work. Later this liaison function was expanded until LAJ-16 eventually became an active participant, rather than a coordinator, in cable laying, wiring, and generator maintenance.
Download or read book OPERATION SANDSTONE Nuclear Explosions 1948 Scientific Director s Report of Atomic Weapon Tests Annex 4 Part 11 Neutron Absorption Measurements During OPERATION SANDSTONE written by Herbert Scoville (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1948 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The flux of fast neutrons of energy greater than 3 Mev was measured by means of sulphur, and neutrons of this energy were found to be lethal (assuming 10 to the 11th power is lethal) at distances from 650 yards in Test Yoke to 500 yards in Test Zebra. The slow neutron flux as measured with arsenic in Test Zebra indicated that these would have been lethal (assuming 5 x 10 to the 11th power neutrons per sq. cm. is lethal) at about 100 yards greater distance than at the sulphur neutrons. Absorption measurements made with steel and concrete indicate that 3 inches of concrete and 2 inches of steel are required to reduce the fast neutron flux by a factor of 2. Six inches of steel on all sides were found necessary to reduce the slow neutron flux by a factor of 2, and concrete was found to be less effective in cutting down the number of slow neutrons. In general, the fast neutrons travel in the direction away from the point of detonation, but the slow neutrons were found to be non directional.
