Abstract:	This report describes the activities of an estimated 21,000 DoD personnel, both military and civilian, in Operation UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE, the fourth atmospheric nuclear weapons testing series, conducted in Nevada from 17 March to 4 June 1953. Operation UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE consisted of 11 nuclear events. Activities engaging DoD personnel included Exercise Desert Rock V programs, scientific and diagnostic experiments, and DoD support activities. Radiological safety criteria and procedures were established and implemented during Operation UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE to minimize participants' exposures to radioactivity.
