Project Cannikin Review

specially designed shock mitigation

mounts were installed on trailers

containing data recording instruments

the slow-motion camera at the recording

trailer park recorded the reaction of

the instrument trailers to the two

pulses of ground acceleration caused by

the detonation

 

some rocks and sea stacks along the

coast were damaged by ground motion

preliminary indications were that the

beach and ocean floor in the near

vicinity of the cannikin site were

raised four to six feet permanently as

predicted some bio environmental effects

of canikin were noticeable but no

permanent harm to em cos wildlife

populations or plant life is expected
