The activities of the U.S. Public Health Service, Division of Radiological Health's Off-Site Radiological Safety Program in support of the Salmon Event of Project Dribble are described. Project Dribble is a part of the U.S. Department of Defense4.S. Atomic Energy Commission's seismic research program called Vela Uniform which is designed to improve the United States' capability to detect, locate and identify underground nuclear detonations. The Salmon Event was the first of three proposed underground nuclear detonations for this project.Emphases are placed on the types of environmental information and data gathered prior to the active test period, the establishment and maintenance of appropriate public relations in a relatively populous area, and the procedures utilized in the temporary evacuation of several hundreds of people who are residents of the area contiguous to the test site.Data obtained from the various monitoring projects conducted during the active test period and results of analyses of environmental samples collected after the Salmon Event are discussed.
