Nuclear Atmospheric Test Force
in the Pacific, 1962.
Operation Dominic I was a series of 36 atmospheric nuclear weapon detonations held in the Pacific Ocean area from April to November 1962.
In addition, the Navy conducted two nuclear tests in the open ocean, the first on 4 May about 435 nmi (806 km) east of Christmas Island and the second on 11 May 370 nmi (686 km) southwest of San Diego, Calif. The first, called Frigate Bird, was a missile-launched airburst, a proof test of the Polaris weapon system, launched from the submarine,
Ethan Allen (SSBN-608).

 | 83k | Trench 94, Hanford Site, Washington, 1994. Hull sections containing defueled reactor compartments of decommissioned nuclear-powered submarines are put in disposal trenches. Once full, the trench will be filled with dirt and buried. The compartments are expected to retain their integrity for more than 600 years. | USN photo & partial text courtesy of home.flash.net/~tomj/tunny/chop/rx. & submitted by Jack Treutle. |
 | 569k | Sealed reactor compartments are shipped by barge out of Puget Sound Naval Base down the coast and along the Columbia River to the port of Benton. There the radioactively-contaminated hull sections are transferred to special multiwheeled high-load trailers for transport to the Hanford Reservation in Washington State.
