This report describes the activities of an estimated 11,000 DoD personnel, both military and civilian, in Operation TEAPOT, the fifth atmospheric nuclear weapons testing series conducted in Nevada from 18 February to 15 May 1955. Activities engaging DoD personnel included Exercise Desert Rock VI observer programs, troop tests, and technical service programs; AEC scientific and diagnostic measurements to evaluate the effects of the nuclear device; DoD operational training programs; and air support.

In two series of experiments 277 experimental animals, including 66 dogs, 52 rabbits, 52 guinea pigs, 63 rats, and 44 mice, were exposed under selected conditions in six different general types of instrumented above- and below-ground shelters to blast produced by nuclear explosions. The distance of the several structures from Ground Zero ranged from 1050 to 5500 ft. The most severe alterations in the pressure environment occurring inside the structures followed the detonation of a nuclear device with a yield approximately 50 per cent greater than nominal. The highest overpressure to which animals were exposed was 85.8 psi, the rise time of which was 4 msec. The overpressure endured for about 570 msec. Overpressures ranged from this maximum downward in 15 other exposure situations to a minimum of 1.3 psi enduring for nearly 1346 msec but rising to a maximum in about 420 msec. The latter pressure occurred inside a reinforced concrete bathroom shelter, which was the only surviving part of a house otherwise totally destroyed, at 4700 ft where the outside incident pressure was about 5 psi. Following the nuclear explosions, all animals were recovered, examined, sacrificed, and subjected to gross and microscopic pathological study. All lesions were tabulated and described. The results of pressure-time data, documenting the variations on the pressure environment, are presented and analyzed, and an exploratory attempt is made to relate the alterations in the pressure environment to the associated pathology observed. A critical review of selected material from the blast and related literature is presented. All data are discussed, and the several problems related to the design and construction of protective shelters are noted and briefly, but analytically, assessed.

This report describes the activities of DoD personnel, both military and civilian, in Shots WASP, MOTH, TESLA, TURK, and HORNET, the first five events of the TEAPOT atmospheric nuclear weapons test series. The tests were conducted from February 18 to March 12, 1955 and involved participants from Exercise Desert Rock VI, AFSWP, AFSWC, AEC nuclear weapons development laboratory test groups, and the Civil Effects Test Group. This volume also describes the radiological safety activities undertaken at each of these five shots.

This report presents a summary of the military participation in Operation TEAPOT, conducted at the Nevada Test Site during the period 15 February through 28 May 1955. The missions of the military representation within the test organization were: (1) to conduct a series of military effects experiments; (2) to coordinate a series of operational training projects; (3) to assist the AEC in the conduct of operation; and (4) to coordinate military activities not falling within the purview of the test organization.

Atomic-blast exposure tests on commercial communications equipment were conducted during Operation Teapot, Apple II shot. These tests were made to provide civil defense planners with data for qualitative predictions of the probable survival range, the extent of damage, and nature of repairs required to restore communication service after a blast. Approximately 150 widely diversified units of commuications equipment (mainly electronic, but including sirens) were exposed. Exposed items were in or near groups of structures located at approximately 4700 and 10,500 feet from ground zero. Where possible, identical products were exposed at these two locations, so that one set of items would be subjected to moderately severe damage and the other set to light damage. Tests showed that commercial communications equipment was generally more resistant to nuclear explosion damage than the structures in and near which the products were exposed.

A new experimental procedure was used in the open shot of Operation Teapot to study various properties of secondary missiles produced in houses, shelters, and open areas at distances of 1470 to 10,500 ft from a nuclear explosion with a yield approximately 50 per cent greater than nominal. The experimental technique involved trapping the missiles in an absorbing material consisting of Styrofoam 22. Laboratory calibrations of the Styrofoam made it possible to determine individual velocities for the trapped missiles. Velocities were calculated for 2611 missiles-95 per cent of which were window-glass fragments-obtained from 27 traps. Missile velocities, masses, and spatial distributions were analyzed statistically. Computational procedures were proposed to predict the velocities of stone missiles in open areas from blast data and from assumed average aerodynamic constants for stones. The method was tested for the 5-psi overpressure region. The computed predicted velocities showed satisfactory correspondence with those empirically determined from data obtained from a missile trap placed in this region.
