Corrective Action Unit 426: Cactus Spring Waste Trenches, Tonopah
Test Range, Nevada. 1998.- 63 s.
'CAU 426 consists of one Corrective Action Site (CAS) which is
comprised of four waste trenches (CAS Number RG-23-001-RGCS). The
trenches were excavated to receive solid waste generated in support
of Operation Roller Coaster, primarily the Double Tracks Test in
1963, and were subsequently baclctllled. The Double Tracks Test
involved the use of live animals to assess the biological hazards
associated with the non-nuclear detonation of plutonium-bearing
devices (i.e., inhalation uptake of plutonium aerosol) (DOE,
1996).'
