Health Physics Society Journal

July 2007, Volume 93, Number 1

An explosive aerosolizing experiment at Sandia National Laboratories. The green spot on the fireball shows the interrogation of the fireball for composition information using a LIDAR system from Defense Research and Development Canada (DRDC). See article by Frederick T. Harper et al. on page 1 for more information.
