Summary
[edit]DescriptionPlumbbob Franklin 005.jpg |
English: Plumbbob Franklin nuclear test. A 25 lb. Shoat is removed by S/Sgt. N. Morgan from an aluminum barrel used for medical effects test. The containers are positioned at various distances from ground zero to measure radiation doses. Sgt Morgan is a member of the 47th Field Hospital, Ft. Sam Houston, near San Antonio, TX. The shoat is one of 1200 swine penned near Camp Mercury. The pigs purchased in the Trimble, MO area, were bred especially for the test, out of one group of Hampshire and Landrace sows. The swine, perhaps the most pampered pigs in America today, cost $25 a head. They receive highly specialized care -- the best food, quarters and medical care. Project Director for the test is Lt Col G.M. McDonnel, Medical Corps, of the Off of the Surgeon General, US Army. |
