Operation Dominic II Nevada Test Site 1962 Operation Dominic II was conducted at the Nevada Test Site in 1962. The NAAV Data Center letter lists four atmospheric tests during 1962 at NTS. The fear and concern of citizens and scientists about the health effects of radioactive fallout, now showing up in the food and milk all over the world, led to the Atmospheric Test Ban Treaty, signed in August 1963. Over 200 detonations had by now showered every county in the US with fallout from the Pacific and Nevada test areas. These tests were the last to be exploded into the atmosphere by the US. The pictures capture an atomic cloud mushrooming from the Nevada desert lakebed into a clear blue sky. Close to the cameras are scattered sagebrush and a handful of struggling Joshua trees. On the horizon are the jagged mountain peaks of the Spotted Range. -Frank Warner U.S. Atomic Veterans Charles H. Monday was in the Electrical Dept. at Indian Springs AFB.
