Lindberg and published by . This book was released on 1954 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A radio-ecological survey of the area adjacent to Nevada Proving Grounds has been in progress intermittently from September 1951 to July 1953. Samples have been taken periodically of native soils, plants, and animals before, during, and after various test series at distances up to 30 miles from respective Ground Zeros. Data suggest that microcurie levels of radioactive fall-out are potentially available for absorption and/or metabolism by grazing animals at distances at least 15 miles from Ground Zero during the 24 hr following a detonation. The persistence of absorbed radioactive materials in rodent populations, as compared to the radioactive content of their isolated tissues, suggests that absorption is primarily a result of physical diffusion of available ions rather than actual metabolic selection and retention of the mixed fission products ingested or inhaled. Absorbed radioactive materials, therefore, appear to be in equilibrium with certain components of residual environmental contamination during the 90 days following a detonation.

J. Schlei and published by . This book was released on 1954 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To augment the basic knowledge of the vulnerability and thermoelastic response operating in the vicinity of a nuclear detonation, various aircraft structural components were instrumented for time-history temperature and strain response and exposed to the thermal and/or blast inputs during Shots 9 and 10. Specimens chosen were box beams, tension ties, stabilizer and elevator assemblies, and structurally bonded metal hat, waffle, and honeycomb core type aircraft panels. These stabilizers were preloaded to simulate an inflight condition and exposed in sets of three, such that one was shielded from blast, one shielded from thermal radiation, and the other un-shielded. Structurally bonded metal aircraft panels were also instrumented for peak skin temperature determination with temp-tapes and exposed to determine the threshold temperature for permanent skin buckling and for bond release. A B-36 stabilizer and elevator assembly and a B-36 wing outer panel were exposed and instrumented with temp-tapes to investigate local panel damage. Samples of fabric and foil control surface coverings were exposed to establish a threshold of thermal damage for each type of covering.

This book was released on 1955 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report deals with pretest and post-test work on the Air Force Structures Test, Project 3.1, Tests on the Loading of Building and Equipment Shapes. The test was designed to check and improve upon previously developed methods of predicting blast loadings on simple structures representative of targets of military interest. The specific objectives dealt with the influence of certain geometric and blast parameters on the loading of solid structures (e.g., the effects of shock strength on building height, width, shielding, orientation, etc.). The test items consisted of a series of 17 cubical structures of reinforced concrete construction which were designed to rigidly withstand the effects of the blast. The structures were rather extensively instrumented with pressure gages and were included in both Shots 9 and 10. Most of the structures were located in the Mach reflection region on both shots; two structures were located in the regular reflection region of Shot 9 and in the precursor region of Shot 10. Primary emphasis was placed on the study of diffraction phenomena since the pressure gage data were not expected to be sufficiently accurate to resolve the relatively small drag forces. A comparison between measured and predicted diffraction loads served to confirm certain aspects of the pretest load prediction methods and led to revisions of others. In the remaining instances the form of the data was inadequate to either confirm or revise the methods. This latter category includes those cases in which the test data clearly disagreed with predictions but was too sparse to warrant revision of the prediction scheme.
