US82Bravo Posted October 28, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 28, 2009 Here is a Cold War era patch for the Navy forces associated with nuclear weapons testing in 1962. When the Soviet Union resumed nuclear atmospheric testing in September 1961, the United States responded with its own testing in Operation Dominic I. These tests took place from April to November 1962. In addition, the Navy conducted two tests in May 1962. Questions exist about the level of radiation exposure crewmen were subjected to during these tests. A period video about the program is made available by the "Nuclear Weapons Vault" at the following link: http://www.archive.org/details/OperationDO...uclearTests1962 Additional information including personal experiences can be found by doing a net search for "JTF-8".
