Amchitka Island Dose Reconstruction

[Carol Marcus <csmarcus@ucla.edu>]

Dear Radsafers:



Does anyone out there have data or know of a good website with dose 

reconstruction information, or at least environmental data, for Kamchitka 

Island?  I need information for April-August of 1967 and April through June 

of 1988.



Amchitka Island was the site of three nuclear detonations conducted in 

October 1965, October 1969, and November 1971.  Long Shot was a nuclear 

detonation research experiment detonated at a depth of 700 meters.  It had 

a yield of about 80 kilotons.  Milrow was a high-yield seismic calibration 

test detonated at a depth of 1220 meters.  It had a yield of about one 

megaton.  Cannikin, a test of a proposed warhead for the Spartan missile, 

was detonated at a depth of about 1790 meters, with a yield of less than 

five megatons.



Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.



Ciao, Carol
