They, measured such phenomena as fireball temperatures, alpha, beta and gamma rays, eye-burn potential, and the blasts' effect on radio communication. Currently under a $25 million AEC contract, E.G. & G. is reckoning results, comparing them with earlier tests dating back to 1948, programming findings for AEC computers. Because it can handle such assignments...
