Abstract:

The objectives of this experiment were to determine, for Shot Laplace, a 1.22-kt device fired late in Operation Plumbbob 1 intensity and decay of the neuron-induced gamma-field 2 neutron flux and spectra as a function of distance 3 neutron flux as a function of soil depth with certain selected detectors and 4 neutron dose and initial gamma dose as a function of distance.
