On April 24, 1957, a high-explosive detonation was employed at the Nevada Test Site to release plutonium for field study of this fissile material as a contaminant. One of the four major measurement programs was a biomedical experiment which comprised exposure of animals to first deposition of plutonium oxide from a detonation cloud (acute subjects) and to the wind-induced resuspension of contamination (chronic subjects) as long as six months after original deposition. Acute subjects (26 dogs and 40 rats) were arrayed 500, 1000, and 2000 feet downwind from ground zero, and nine rats were flown on balloon cables positioned to intercept the cloud 500 feet from ground zero.
