Where possible, these data have been compared with data from previous field experiments. In every case, they were compared with calculations which approximated the experiment. Agreement in both cases is generally good, and this strengthens confidence in calculated results.

In order to understand better the transmission and scattering of radiation in air, a series of measurements were made to determine the energy and angular distributions at large distances from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Health Physics Research Reactor and an 800-curie]60 Co source. Both sources were positioned at various elevations on a 1527-ft tower while data were acquired by detectors located in collimators at either 750 or 1000 yd from the base of the tower. Good measurements were obtained of neutron and gamma-ray doses from the HPRR and gamma doses from the ]60Co source as a function of angle of incidence. Scintillation spectra of the gamma rays from the ]60Co source were also obtained. No useful spectrum information was obtained from the HPRR.

The HENRE experiment, conducted at the Nevada Test Site in the winter and summer of 1967, was an extension of the experimental programs related to the Ichiban program to determine the doses received by the survivors at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This report presents the data obtained on the neutron and gamma-ray dose as a function of polar angle, the fast neutron spectrum as a function of distance, and the high energy gamma-ray spectrum as a function of polar angle. It was found that the neutron spectrum did not reach equilibrium within the distances at which measurements were made. This has an effect on the dose as a function of polar angle measured with different air densities. In addition, the measurements show the gamma-ray dose received from angles below the air-ground interface is affected by the diffuse source of gamma rays. Where possible, these data have been compared with data from previous field experiments. In every case, they were compared with calculations which approximated the experiment. Agreement in both cases is generally good, and this strengthens confidence in calculated results.

Recent scientific and technical advances have made it possible to create matter in the laboratory under conditions relevant to astrophysical systems such as supernovae and black holes. These advances will also benefit inertial confinement fusion research and the nation's nuclear weapon's program. The report describes the major research facilities on which such high energy density conditions can be achieved and lists a number of key scientific questions about high energy density physics that can be addressed by this research. Several recommendations are presented that would facilitate the development of a comprehensive strategy for realizing these research opportunities.
