  • Davy Crockett Weapon System Would Soon Launch the Little Feller I Shot
    Introduction The desert temperature hovered at 90 degrees Fahrenheit the morning of July 17, 1962 at the Nevada Test Site (NTS), now known at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS). Eventually the beating sun would increase the heat to over 105 degrees later that day, but at 10:00 a.m., a crowd of 396 spectators braved the scorching temperature and relentless sun to witness the last atmospheric test ever conducted by the United States. The crowd gathered in Area 18 of the NTS, approximately two miles from ground zero, where a Davy Crockett weapon system would soon launch the Little Feller I shot. Davy Crockett The Davy Crockett weapons system is mounted on a vehicle and prepared for launch. In 1962, Davy Crockett, hero of the Alamo, had been dead for 126 years. But on this hot summer morning, the name 'Davy Crockett' referred to the weapons system that fired projectiles from recoilless rifles with a firing range of 1.24 to 2.49 miles and could launch projectiles that weighed up to 79 pounds. Little Feller I, the fourth and last test of the Dominic II series (also known as Operation Sunbeam) conducted at the NTS, was a stockpile Davy Crockett tactical weapon with a nuclear warhead. Weighing only 51 pounds, Little Feller I was the smallest and lightest fission-type weapon deployed by the United States. The objectives of the test were threefold: 1. Test the Davy Crockett weapons system in a simulated tactical situation Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General 2. Train military personnel in the use of tactical Maxwell Taylor (left), and the U.S.

    An Atomic Veterans Experience on Nuclear weapons Test in 1958 John C. Taschner, Lt. Col., USAF (BSC) (Ret.) 2332 Arroyo Falls St. NW Albuquerque, NM 87120 505.899.1410 (Home) 505.270.3421 (Cell) [email protected] Figure 1. Title I. Introduction. 1958 was a banner year for nuclear weapons testing by the United states, with a total of 77 tests, more than the three previous years combined (Operation Plumbob, Project 57 and 58 had a total of 34 shots). This burst of activity was partly due to building pressure for a moratorium on above ground nuclear weapon testing at the end of October 1958. This prompted the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (now Las Alamos National Laboratory) and the University of California Radiation Laboratory (now Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) to rush as many device types to the Pacific and later the Nevada Test Site as possible. Figure 2. Operation Hardtack Operation Hardtack was conducted in two phases. A. Hardtack I focused on the testing of high yield thermonuclear devices in the Pacific Ocean from April through /august 1958. A total of 35.6 MT was fired. Figure 3. Map of Nevada Test Site B. Hardtack II was a series of low yield nuclear weapon tests conducted at the Nevada Test Site (Figure 3) from September 12 through October 1958. The operation consisted of 19 nuclear weapon tests and 18 nuclear safety experiments (one-point safety tests). Most of these tests were to prove the safety and effectiveness of new “sealed pit” fission primaries and tactical nuclear weapons such as the XW-51 Davy Crocket warhead.

  • U.S. Atmospheric Nuclear Tests
    U.S. NUCLEAR TESTING FROM PROJECT TRINITY TO THE PLOWSHARE PROGRAM [From For the Record – A History of the Nuclear Test Personnel Review Program, 1978-1986, by Abby A. Johnson, et al, Defense Nuclear Agency, DNA 6041F, 1986. The United States conducted Project TRINITY, the world's first nuclear detonation, in 1945. From 1946 to 1963, when the limited nuclear test ban treaty was signed, the U.S. conducted 18 atmospheric nuclear test series, identified below as operations, and a program of testing called PLOWSHARE. In addition, the U.S. staged safety experiments to determine the weapons' susceptibility to fission due to accidents in storage and transport. This chapter provides historical summaries of the tests, listed below in the order in which they occurred and are addressed: · Project TRINITY, 1945 (CONUS) · Operation CROSSROADS, 1946 (Oceanic) · Operation SANDSTONE, 1948 (Oceanic) · Operation RANGER, 1951 (CONUS) · Operation GREENHOUSE, 1951 (Oceanic) · Operation BUSTER-JANGLE, 1951 (CONUS) · Operation TUMBLER-SNAPPER, 1952 (CONUS) · Operation IVY, 1952 (Oceanic) · Operation UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE, 1953 (CONUS) · Operation CASTLE, 1954 (Oceanic) · Operation TEAPOT, 1955 (CONUS) · Operation WIGWAM, 1955 (Oceanic) · Operation REDWING, 1956 (Oceanic) · Operation PLUMBBOB, 1957 (CONUS) · Operation HARDTACK I, 1958 (Oceanic) · Operation ARGUS, 1958 (Oceanic) · Operation HARDTACK II, 1958 (CONUS) · Safety Experiments, 1955-1958 (CONUS) · Operation DOMINIC I, 1962 (Oceanic) · Operation DOMINIC II, 1962 (CONUS) · PLOWSHARE Program, 1961-1962 (CONUS). Most of the oceanic tests were conducted at the Pacific Proving Ground, which consisted principally of the Enewetak and Bikini Atolls in the northwestern Marshall Islands of the Pacific Ocean. The Marshall Islands are in the easternmost part of Micronesia.

    AN ELEGY ON SPECIES OBITUARIES by Stinne Storm A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of Utah in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Environmental Humanities College of Humanities The University of Utah August 2015 Copyright © Stinne Storm 2015 All Rights Reserved The University of Utah Graduate School STATEMENT OF THESIS APPROVAL The thesis of Stinne Storm has been approved by the following supervisory committee members: Stephen Tatum , Chair 03Date- 27Approved-15 Brett Clark , Member 03Date- 27Approved-15 Terry Tempest Williams , Member 03Date- 27Approved-15 and by Jeffrey McCarthy , Chair/Dean of the Department/College/School of Environmental Humanities and by David B. Kieda, Dean of The Graduate School. ABSTRACT This thesis explores “the sixth extinction,” as a contemporary poetic of loss. Animals and their voices are interpreted as “a language of loss.” It portrays decrease in biodiversity, contemporary environmental circumstances, and the mass dying out of species as the elegies of our time. It draws on ecological science as well as literary and contemporary art references. Death is a taboo in Western societies even though loss and pain are a part of existing and are linked to beauty and happiness. This thesis is about the quality of mourning that enables us to bear witness beyond our own baselines. Homer may be distant, but the vitality of narrating mourning, positioning of human among nonhuman, seems a suitable literary reference to make a leap into our bleak future, while searching for and insisting on beauty. We lack a language that pronounces the contemporary environmental depth and fault lines: disunity.
