Preliminary Assessment for CAU 485: Cactus Spring Ranch Pu and DU Site CAS No. TA-39-001-TAGR: Soil Contamination, Tonopah Test Range, Nevada (open access)

Preliminary Assessment for CAU 485: Cactus Spring Ranch Pu and DU Site CAS No. TA-39-001-TAGR: Soil Contamination, Tonopah Test Range, Nevada

Corrective Action Unit 485, Corrective Action Site TA-39-001-TAGR, the Cactus Spring Ranch Soil Contamination Area, is located approximately six miles southwest of the Area 3 Compound at the eastern mouth of Sleeping Column Canyon in the Cactus Range on the Tonopah Test Range. This site was used in conjunction with animal studies involving the biological effects of radionuclides (specifically plutonium) associated with Operation Roofer Coaster. The location had been used as a ranch by private citizens prior to government control of the area. According to historical records, Operation Roofer Coaster activities involved assessing the inhalation uptake of plutonium in animals from the nonnuclear detonation of nuclear weapons. Operation Roofer Coaster consisted of four nonnuclear destruction tests of a nuclear device. The four tests all took place during May and June 1963 and consisted of Double Tracks and Clean Slate 1, 11, and 111. Eighty-four dogs, 84 burros, and 136 sheep were used for the Double Tracks test, and ten sheep and ten dogs were used for Clean Slate 11. These animals were housed at Cactus Spring Ranch. Before detonation, all animals were placed in cages and transported to the field. After the shot, they were taken to the decontamination area …

Clean slate corrective action investigation plan (open access)

Clean slate corrective action investigation plan

The Clean Slate sites discussed in this report are situated in the central portion of the Tonopah Test Range (TTR), north of the Nevada Test Site (NTS) on the northwest portion of the Nellis Air Force Range (NAFR) which is approximately 390 kilometers (km) (240 miles [mi]) northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. These sites were the locations for three of the four Operation Roller Coaster experiments. These experiments evaluated the dispersal of plutonium in the environment from the chemical explosion of a plutonium-bearing device. Although it was not a nuclear explosion, Operation Roller Coaster created some surface contamination which is now the subject of a corrective action strategy being implemented by the Nevada Environmental Restoration Project (NV ERP) for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Corrective Action Investigation (CAI) activities will be conducted at three of the Operation Roller Coaster sites. These are Clean Slate 1 (CS-1), Clean Slate 2 (CS-2), and Clean Slate 3 (CS-3) sites, which are located on the TTR. The document that provides or references all of the specific information relative to the various investigative processes is called the Corrective Action Investigation Plan (CAIP). This CAIP has been prepared for the DOE Nevada Operations Office (DOE/NV) …

[North Texas State Fair in Denton, TX]

Photograph of the North Texas State Fair in Denton, TX. Booths and stalls with red and yellow striped tents shading them have been set up throughout a clearing, currently empty of fairgoers. In the background beyond the stalls and in foreground in between them are two separate trailers with large white signs atop them, both advertising funnel cakes, sausage, and home cooked meals with food like hamburgers and coffee. From the trailer in the foreground, two men exit from a door set in the trailer's back. Parked between two booths in the left side of the photo is a white cargo truck. Farther into photo, behind the stalls and trailers, are three amusement rides. Near the left side of the photo is a roller coaster with a single loop in its shape, while a ride with disc shaped pods at the end of wheel-like spokes sits to the roller coaster's right. Near the right edge of the photo is the third ride, a Ferris wheel. A line of tall, bushy trees sits behind all the amusement rides.

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "The undamaged elevator of the roller coaster at Springlake is pictured here through the charred timbers of a portion of the amusement park's facilities that were destroyed in an early morning fire Thursday. Despite the fire which damaged the park in excess of $50,000, "the show will go on," Ron Staton, manager and one of the owners, declared Thursday, indicating that the park will open on as scheduled May 31. Destroyed in the blaze were the fun house, the roller coaster terminal, the electric scooter racing link and the shooting gallery. Staton pointed out the fire was confined to only one section of the park leaving other facilities undamaged. The fire razed sections of the roller link and the other destroyed buildings will be replaced just as soon as it "can be done witht the best materials," Staton said, declaring that the operators of the park will go slow in the replacement work in order to do the best possible job of reconstructing the loss. The fire started early Thursday morning when lightning struck an electric conduit on the "Big Dipper."

Air Monitoring Network at Tonopah Test Range: Network Description and Capabilities (open access)

Air Monitoring Network at Tonopah Test Range: Network Description and Capabilities

During the period April to June 2008, at the behest of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration, Nevada Site Office (NNSA/NSO); the Desert Research Institute (DRI) constructed and deployed two portable environmental monitoring stations at the Tonopah Test Range (TTR) as part of the Environmental Restoration Project Soils Sub-Project. The TTR is located within the boundaries of the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) near the northern edge, and covers an area of approximately 725.20 km2 (179,200 acres). The primary objective of the monitoring stations is to evaluate whether and under what conditions there is wind transport of radiological contaminants from one of the three Soil Sub-Project Corrective Action Units (CAUs) associated with Operation Roller Coaster on TTR. Operation Roller Coaster was a series of tests, conducted in 1963, designed to examine the stability and dispersal of plutonium in storage and transportation accidents. These tests did not result in any nuclear explosive yield. However, the tests did result in the dispersal of plutonium and contamination of surface soils in the surrounding area.
