		Operation Teapot was a series of thirteen nuclear test explosions conducted at the Nevada Test Site in the first half of 1955.
		Immediately after the "Ess" shot on 23 March, 1955, ground forces took part in Desert Rock VI which included an armored task force "Razor" moving within 900 meters of ground zero, under the still-forming mushroom cloud.

		Frigate Bird - on May 6, 1962, a UGM-27 Polaris A-1 missile with a live 600 kt W47 warhead was launched from the USS Ethan Allen (SSBN-608); it flew 1900 km, re-entered the atmosphere, and detonated at an altitude of 3.4 km over the South Pacific.
		Planned as a method to dispel doubts about whether the USA's nuclear missiles would actually function in practice, it had less effect than was hoped, as the stockpile warhead was substantially modified prior to testing, and the missile tested was a relatively low-flying SLBM and not a high-flying ICBM.

		Operation TEAPOT was the fifth series of atmospheric nuclear weapons tests conducted by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) within the continental United States.
		Since the TEAPOT operational period was approximately 13 weeks, this exposure limit was equivalent to the then-current 0.3 roengtens per week occupational exposure recommended by the National Council on Radiation Protection (NCRP).
		The 15 TEAPOT events are summarized in the accompanying table and the ground zeros are shown in the accompanying map.

		Introduction This study was initiated to determine the variation of urinary excretion of certain fission materials by human subjects during the period required for atomic weapons testing at Operation Teapot.
		Operation Teapot Weapons Data are listed in Table A. An attempt was made to utilize, insofar as possible, the same healthy adult male persons for the entire period of the study and to exclude any with a history of thyroid disease or previous known exposure to radioactive materials.
		However, communication with the New York Operations Office, Atomic Energy Commission, indicated the presence of gross fission material at some of their stations in the weeks prior to 22 February.

		By Operation Teapot (1955), the AEC considered the testing of a nuclear device "largely useless" unless sampler aircraft were used to obtain fission debris that would be used to estimate the nuclear weapon's performance.
		At Teapot the Air Force performed the first manned "early cloud penetration." The phrase was used by the Air Force to refer to missions conducted as soon as minutes after detonation of the test weapon.
		Since the crews were in the cloud for such a short period of time, however, the actual doses were much lower than 1,800 R. The maximum reported dose received on a single mission was 17 R,[107] higher than the 15 R authorized for the project.

		The veteran developed urinary tract (right ureter) cancer which ultimately involved the ureters, bladder and kidney; which required surgical treatment with residuals; and which was first manifested by dark urine in April 1984.
		In October 1990, the Defense Nuclear Agency reported that the veteran was a member of the 3rd Marine Corps Provisional Atomic Exercise Brigade during Operation TEAPOT.
