Summary[edit]

Description
English: Operation Dominic - Shot Encino - Kiritimati. Mushroom Cloud. Type: 1679m airdrop. Yield: 500 kt.


This free-fall drop tested the Los Alamos designed XW-43Y5 warhead. The B43 was a strategic bomb deployed in 5 yield variants (from 70 kt up to 1 Mt). This was a verification test of a reduced yield variant of the device fired in the Hardtack I Elder shot (880 kt). The purpose was to establish a reference point for future high yield designs. The bomb fell 1000 ft. from its air zero point. The mushroom cloud rose to 62,500 feet.
