Book excerpt: This report describes the activities of an estimated 21,000 DoD personnel, both military and civilian, in Operation UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE, the fourth atmospheric nuclear weapons testing series, conducted in Nevada from 17 March to 4 June 1953. Operation UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE consisted of 11 nuclear events. Activities engaging DoD personnel included Exercise Desert Rock V programs, scientific and diagnostic experiments, and DoD support activities. Radiological safety criteria and procedures were established and implemented during Operation UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE to minimize participants' exposures to radioactivity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nuclear weapons, since their conception, have been the subject of secrecy. In the months after the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the American scientific establishment, the American government, and the American public all wrestled with what was called the "problem of secrecy," wondering not only whether secrecy was appropriate and effective as a means of controlling this new technology but also whether it was compatible with the country's core values. Out of a messy context of propaganda, confusion, spy scares, and the grave counsel of competing groups of scientists, what historian Alex Wellerstein calls a "new regime of secrecy" was put into place. It was unlike any other previous or since. Nuclear secrets were given their own unique legal designation in American law ("restricted data"), one that operates differently than all other forms of national security classification and exists to this day. Drawing on massive amounts of declassified files, including records released by the government for the first time at the author's request, Restricted Data is a narrative account of nuclear secrecy and the tensions and uncertainty that built as the Cold War continued. In the US, both science and democracy are pitted against nuclear secrecy, and this makes its history uniquely compelling and timely"--

Book excerpt: This report describes the activities performed by DoD personnel, both civilian and military, at Shot SIMON, the seventh nuclear test in the UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE atmospheric nuclear weapons testing series. SIMON had an expected yield of 35 kilotons, but its actual yield was 43 kilotons. The test was conducted on 25 April 1953 and involved participants from Exercise Desert Rock V, AFSWP, AFSWC, and the AEC test groups. The Tactical Troop Maneuver involved about 2,450 Army personnel. The Volunteer Observer Program had eight participants: seven from the Army and one from the Navy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A representative selection of 42 common drug preparations was exposed to the action of nuclear radiation and blast at two shots in the Upshot-Knothole series in Nevada in the spring of 1953. The drugs were packaged in the form in which they would be found on drugstore shelves and were exposed to various levels of neutron and gamma radiation ranging up to 50,000 r. Insulin and vitamin B/sub 12/ were reduced in potency by about 10 and 50 per cent, respectively, but no other preparation tested showed any deterioration. Some of the drugs showed a moderate level of induced radioactivity. This activity was traced either to an actual mineral constituent of the drug itself, as in the case of thiopental sodium, or to an excipient, such as calcium phosphate used in aureomycin. However, the level of activity was so low that little or no radiological health hazard would be involved in the normal use of the exposed drugs, although those with a high sodium content should be allowed to cool for several days before using them. Any drags in containers remaining physically undamaged at a distince of 1000 yd from the explosion of a nominal atomic bomb are considered entirely safe for immediate use. Under heavy exposure the glass containers in which the drugs were packaged displayed strong but short-lived activity due to their sodium content. Clear glass also showed a marked darkening. None of the closures failed, and none of the closure materials deteriorated chenflcally or biologically under the conditions of the tests. (auth).
