	FROM PULPSTONES TO BATS
		The Upper Freeport sandstone at the Smallwood mine was mined underground by the same channeling machines that were used to mine the sandstone at the surface.
		Sandstone blocks produced underground were split to size and then brought to the surface by mine car for finish work.
		As the sandstone blocks were mined they were soft and contained small amounts of water, commonly called "quarry sap." The water generally drained out of the sandstone within a week or two after having been cut, but the stone remained somewhat soft.

	OPERATION SANDSTONE - 1948
		Operation Sandstone was conducted at Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands in 1948 to test the first new weapon designs since World War II.
		The Sandstone devices all replaced the contiguous tamper-core approach with a "levitated core" in which the core was suspended within a larger hollow space within the tamper so that a gap existed between them.
		The Mk 3 bomb used for the Sandstone devices was 60 inches in diameter and weighed 10,500 lb total; the explosive, core and firing system weighed 7,600 lb.

		It was noted that the veteran had indicated that he had participated in Operation SANDSTONE with heavy doses of radiation to the crew.
		Harrell indicated that it was entirely possible that radiation exposure in Operation SANDSTONE in the Pacific where several atomic bombs were exploded could have contributed to the veteran's disease.
		However, after a review of the entire evidentiary data of record, the Board concludes that the preponderance of the evidence is against the veteran's claim for entitlement to service connection for adenocystic carcinoma of the lung, claimed as a result of exposure to ionizing radiation.

	Introduction
		In 1958 the test operations in the Pacific were called Operation Hardtack and the small operation at NTS that followed was called Operation Hardtack II.
		Within each operation, a number of effects programs might be defined, with each programs identifying a technical area of interest, such as blast effects, thermal effects, aircraft structure effects, etc. Within each program, a number of projects would be performed in support of the program.
		Each successive test operation was assigned a block of 100 or 200 WT numbers that the projects within the formal test organization used for reporting.

		Those readers who may be required to engage in direct efforts associated with the sampling of clouds will gain an understanding of the over-all complexity of the sampling mission and will realize the importance of their specific tasks or missions.
		With drones, the "beeper" pilot aimed the aircraft toward the atomic cloud and the sample was obtained by pot-luck.
		Airmen servicing an aircraft, however, would probably keep their hands in more or less constant motion during the operation and would not receive as much radiation as was recorded on the meters and film badges.

	Dawn of the Atomic Age
		During this period, nuclear tests were conducted in groups known as "operations" or "test series", each series was a distinct operation that was organized and carried out independently of other operations.
		Operation Dominic (which also been called Dominic I), conducted between 25 April and 4 November of 1962 (and thus overlapping Nougat and Storax); and which included the Department of Defense (DoD) Operation Fishbowl high-altitude tests in the Pacific.
		In addition security of the test operation could be ensured, a considerable concern at a time that a major land war was raging in Asia, and the possibility of direct conflict with China and the Soviet Union was feared.

		Weapon designers began to feel that insufficient technical data was available and that a systematic series of atomic tests was called for to study how various parameters affected yield in fission weapons.

		Operation Ranger carried out the first tests in the United States proper since the Trinity test in 1945.

		The topography of the land should be flat, or have smooth and regular contours for ease and economy of construction and operation, as well as for visibility for photographic collection of data.
		A nearby community on which to base transient living and logistic support for general construction operations, as well as for the interim support of the site, can add much to the economy and ease of developing and operating a test site of this nature.
		In this connection, it should be noted that recent reviews of the weather data for the Carolina Coastal area, which has certain advantages for the purpose in mind, have revealed that the apparently favorable meteorological conditions of wind and weather structures are based on average figures which, in reality, are seldom met.

		In a further aspect, both the clay and mica contents are determined from records of the natural gamma-ray activities in an interval of interest, in a clean sandstone interval, and in a mica-free shale interval.
		The natural gamma-ray log, traditionally used as a measure of formation shale content, is not a reliable indicator of shaliness of some sandstones, such as found in Jurassic sandstones of the North Sea for example, because fine-grained clays are not the dominant source of natural radioactivity in these formations.
