About the Book

We embarked on this project for several reasons, all centered on our fascination with the history of nuclear weapons testing and our interest in making more of the details of these complex operations available to the general public. We focused largely on the people. We have enormous respect and admiration for those who devoted major parts of their lives to the development and understanding of nuclear weapons. The esprit de corps, the camaraderie and the appreciation of the accomplishments contributed to making the participants feel good about what they were doing and proud of their work. From an intellectual standpoint, nuclear weapons test-related activities were both challenging and exciting. It is worthwhile to stand back and ask what this was all about. What was the significance of what was done at the Nevada Test Site? The answer has two parts: The first is that the Nation was assured of a safe, reliable nuclear deterrent; and the second part is that the government acquired an understanding of the environment that would be faced in a nuclear war. How we got there required the efforts of tens of thousands of people and billions of dollars. We chronicle the details of that trek and occasionally touch on the geopolitical context of the period. It is clear to us that much more could be done to make the historical connections that would put the work of the test site into a broader perspective. This will have to come later. While we both are veterans of many years at the Test Site, we did not participate in Nevada during the golden age of atmospheric testing of the 1950s. Our tenure came later; during the 1960s, 70s and 80s. This only increased our fascination with the first decade and further heightened our curiosity about the test operations with names such as TEAPOT and PLUMBBOB.
