Fission products field test 1 was performed to evaluate release percentages, airborne radioactivity, and diffusion and deposition characteristics of fission products from melted aircraft reacter fuel elements. A corollary objective was to determine the retention and distribution of the released fission products in animals located within the release network. The test was performed at a site within the national reactor testing station (dugway proving ground) during 1958. Nine releases were accomplished, five were performed with aged fuel elements and four with green fuel elements. The report contains data summaries for each of the nine releases in the appendices.
