The purpose of the project was to provide field training under actual nuclear explosion conditions for State and local civil defense personnel engaged in radiological defense planning. Previous education, training, and experience in radiological physics, health, or safety were desirable. Selected trainees reported to the Nevada Proving Grounds by April 22, 1953, where they completed a course of lectures and field exercises by May 5, 1953. All trainees were given security clearance to permit access to restricted areas and freedom of discussion with program directors, project officers, and other test officials. The trainees received background information useful to them in their preparation of radiological defense plans in their home States and communities. The trainees and test officials associated with the training course were unanimous in their praise of such radiological defense training. Experience gained by project personnel will be extremely useful in planning and conducting future training courses. (Author)
