Operation Emery

‘’’Operation Emery’’’ was a series of twelve nuclear tests conducted at the Nevada Test Site.

These explosions occurred after the Mandrel series and before Grommet.

The ‘’’Baneberry’’ blast was notable for the three million curies of radiation that escaped through cracks in the ground. This was the “dirtiest” acknowledged American nuclear test.

The individual tests of this series were:
