For the purpose of determining those tests most likely to have affected the local population, dosimetric calculations were used to classify the 111 atmospheric tests according to whether the estimated effective dose to an adult living off-site at the point of maximum exposure rate during the year following the nuclear explosion would exceed 5 mSv. Eleven events were found to satisfy that criterion and thus to contribute substantially to radiation exposure. They were conducted on 29 August 1949, 24 September 1951, 12 August 1953, 5 May 1954, 30 October 1954, 29 July 1955, 2 August 1955, 16 March 1956, 24 August 1956, 22 August 1957, and 7 August 1962. Important characteristics of those tests are presented in Table 1, while the airmass trajectories of the corresponding radioactive clouds are shown in Fig. 1.
