Operation Hardtack I was a series of 35 nuclear tests conducted by the United States from April 28 to August 18 in 1958 at the Pacific Proving Grounds. [1] [2]: 212 At the time of testing, the Operation Hardtack I test series included more nuclear detonations than the total of prior nuclear explosions in the Pacific Ocean.
Operation Buster–Jangle was a series of seven (six atmospheric, one cratering) nuclear weapons tests conducted by the United States in late 1951 at the Nevada Test Site. Buster–Jangle was the first joint test program between the DOD (Operation Buster ) and Los Alamos National Laboratories (Operation Jangle ).
Hip scoring is a procedure used to determine the degree of hip dysplasia in dogs and other animals and reporting the findings in a standard way. The hip score is the sum of the points awarded for each of nine radiographic features of both hip joints.
Achieving a high enough heart rate at the end of exercise is critical to improving the sensitivity of the test to detect high grade heart artery stenosis. High frequency analysis of the QRS complex may be useful for detection of coronary artery disease during an exercise stress test. [1]
Greenwater, a Lawrence Livermore test, was to be fired in Area 19, [10] and was a test of an x-ray laser system. [12] The test was cancelled 16 July 1992. [13] The Greenwater nuclear device had already been assembled at the time of cancellation, and had to be dismantled. [14] A fourth test, Mighty Uncle, was planned for 1993.
Operation Dominic was a series of 31 nuclear test explosions ("shots") with a 38.1 Mt (159 PJ) total yield conducted in 1962 by the United States in the Pacific. [1] This test series was scheduled quickly, in order to respond in kind to the Soviet resumption of testing after the tacit 1958–1961 test moratorium.
Due to the positive results, Panuce was allowed to try the pill on another of her dogs, her Newfoundland Benson, also 12, who almost couldn’t walk due to severe arthritis.
The United States's Niblick nuclear test series [1] was a group of 41 nuclear tests conducted in 1963–1964. These tests [ note 1 ] followed the Operation Roller Coaster series and preceded the Operation Whetstone series.
