located at Sandia Base, Albuquer-
que, N. Mex.
Aside from the great value in fur
thering military knowledge and
technology, the AFSWP-AEC tests
are particularly helpful to the Fed
eral Civil Defense Agency, which
gets information on:
Effects of atomic weapons on con-
ventional structures and utilities;
effects on shelters and personnel;
effects on materials other than mil
itary equipment; biological effects;
general air blasts, radiation and
thermal effects; cratering and shock;
shielding; standardization and pro-
tective measures and radiation de-
lection instruments and technlQueS.
In speaking of atomic hydrogen
tests. the general pointed out that
the scientific and engineering know
how developed in the brief lifetime
of atomic weapons has not advanced
to the stage where explosive reac-
tions can be precisely predetermined.

and scarce materials in the atomic
energy field"
