Los Alamos, NM: Los Alamos National Laboratory, 1987. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. [2], 14 pages. Illustrations. Reference. This work was supported by the Defense Nuclear Agency. One of the goals of the Minor Scale test was to determine the quantity, form, and composition of dust lofted by a large detonation of a conventional high explosive at ground level. The explosive charge was 4427 tonnes of ammonium nitrate-fuel oil (ANFO) . The experimental techniques used to determine the amount of dust were (1) use of elements in soil as natural tracers, (2) inclusion of tracer elements in the ANFO charge and the immediate surroundings, (3) airborne collection of the lofted dust on filter media, and (4) analysis of the samples for both tracers and dust. The tracer content of the sample can then relate the dust collected to the total amount lofted and to the location of its origin within the experimental setup. Iridium, in the oxide form, was placed within the explosive charge, and tantalum, as very fine dust, was placed near the soil surface immediately adjacent to the charge container.
