The author was a key participant in the H-bomb recovery mission at Palomares, Spain, in 1966. He chaired the Atomic Energy Commission USAF Systems Analysis Team for Major General D. E. Wilson, Commander of the 16th Air Force, which aided in locating the B28 thermonuclear bomb. From 1949 to 1952 he worked for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics in Mountain View, California, and from 1952 to 1991 for Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was Chief of Aerodynamics at Sandia for 23 years, responsible for the aerodynamic design of nuclear weapons - bombs, shells, and missile war- heads - as well as rockets and parachutes for the Department of Energy. The unfortunate and expensive Palomares accident was one of a growing number of close calls regarding nuclear detonation. But in the long term it led to a positive outcome - safety, security, and control - a design philosophy that has since been incorporated into the U.S. nuclear stockpile. In 1980-1981 the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy compiled a list of all nuclear accidents involving U.S. weapons between 1950 and 1980 - 32 of them. This book details the Palomares accident and provides an excellent background history of the others in the Appendix, based on The Defense Monitor published list, with comments of the Center for Defense Information. Contents in Six Chapters: The Refueling Accident, Three Bombs Found, Camp Wilson and the Intensified Search, The Systems Analysis Team's Results, the Plutonium Cleanup, and Recovered at Sea.
