BREN Tower Experiments
Army doctor Hiroshi Sawachika treated over 2,000 patients after surviving the Hiroshima bomb blast. "Later on, when I had time to reflect on that day I came to realize that we doctors learned a lot through the experience...I learned that the nuclear weapons which gnaw the minds and bodies of human beings should never be used... Otherwise, we will repeat the same tragedy"
A 1946 international program studied Hiroshima and Nagasaki victims for radiation effects. Operation BREN (Bare Reactor Experiment-Nevada) was the Test Site's contribution. The experiment studied how radiation penetrates structures and structure shielding capabilities. This was an important factor since a building's shielding effects were unknown after the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. The 1,527-foot BREN tower was erected in 1962 on the Test Site's Yucca Flat to raise and lower a small, unshielded (bare) reactor. A 1,200-curie cobalt-60 source was used to simulate the delayed gamma-ray field from the fireball of a nuclear weapon. Structures were built below the tower to simulate Japanese-style houses. The experimental data helped with medical information for bomb survivors, determined radiation health effects, and estimated radiation safety levels for workers. In 1966, the BREN tower was moved to Jackass Flats, another Test Site location.
