ATOMIC TESTS

Scope and Content of Series

Series 4) ATOMIC TESTS: This material documents Isaacs' and SIO's participation in the United States nuclear tests. The United States Navy conducted nuclear tests between 1945 and 1992 at sites in the Pacific Ocean, Nevada, the Alaska Peninsula, Colorado, Mississippi, and New Mexico. SIO established research contracts with the Navy beginning in the 1940s, wherein Scripps oceanographers investigated the impact of the atomic tests in the Pacific Ocean. The United States conducted 67 nuclear weapons tests at Bikini and Eniwetok atolls between 1946 and 1958.
From 1946-1956, Isaacs worked as a consultant monitoring the Pacific nuclear tests, serving as project officer for Operations Crossroads, Ivy, Castle, Wigwam, and Redwing. He was physically present during four of the nuclear test series. Isaacs' contributions during the atomic tests included: wave and current measurements, temperature and depth surveys, research on the dispersion of radioactive materials in water, and aerial surveys. One notable aerial survey would be the wake studies completed with Lewis W. Kidd and Robert P. Huffer.
Two of Isaacs more memorable contributions occurred during Operations Crossroads and Castle. During Operation Crossroads, Isaacs was responsible for measuring waves resulting from the blasts and proposed the use of wave-measuring cameras to triangulate ship positions. Two aerial cameras were mounted on towers on Bikini Island, firing every three seconds. Since the objective of the underwater detonation known as "Baker" was to determine the effects on ships, the triangulation of ship positions was critical. Through the use of automatic cameras, Isaacs was also able to capture a photograph of the Baker shot's bubble breaking the surface.
During Operation Castle, Isaacs was concerned about tidal waves resulting from the tests and encouraged the admiral in charge to order everyone except the firing team off the atoll. While there was no tidal wave, Bravo shot had about twice the expected yield. Various camp buildings on the atoll were destroyed and the fallout spread contaminated materials outside the anticipated area. Although it was an unanticipated result, Isaacs helped minimize the effects of the unexpected yield.
Materials in this series date from 1946 to 1981, and are arranged in four subseries: A) Operations, B) Subject files, C) Reports, and D) Audiovisual Recordings.
A) Operations: Includes correspondence, notes, logs, data, proposals, reports, photographs, negatives, and slides. Arranged by project in roughly chronological order.
B) Subject files: A selection of files on subjects relating to the atomic tests, arranged alphabetically by folder title.
C) Reports: A small selection of reports output from the United States nuclear tests and operations. Includes reports by Isaacs, as well as reports by others. Some reports are extracted versions, sent to Isaacs after declassification. Arranged chronologically.
D) Audiovisual Recordings: Sound recordings on reel-to-reel, and moving images on film and VHS formats. The sound recordings include whistler studies, sonar echo runs, and audio from Operation Wigwam D-day. The films and VHS include recordings of ships, instruments, beaches, people working, and aerial shots. Materials are arranged by project in roughly chronological order. Also see WRITINGS for a poem by Isaacs' titled "An H-bomb on a coral atoll," in which Isaacs writes about his experience witnessing the detonation of an atomic bomb.

Restrictions

Researchers must have advance permission from the Director of Special Collections to consult material in the ATOMIC TESTS series. Material may be made available pending folder-level review.

MONSTER CAMERA

Scope and Content of Series

Series 12) MONSTER CAMERA: John D. Isaacs designed a deep-sea camera in the 1960s, which was delivered and recovered using a free vehicle system. The "monster camera," as he called it, was the result of Isaacs' collaboration with Robert Hessler as they worked to develop untethered ocean landers. In a series of missions between 1969 and 1972, Isaacs' monster cameras were dropped at various locations to the ocean floor, including off the coast of California, the Gulf of California, the coast of Africa, Chile and Peru, and the South Pole. The automatic cameras were baited and then dropped into the ocean, recording with a flash at timed intervals. Isaacs sought to capture both still images and moving images of deep-sea animals and their feeding behaviors. Unlike trawls, these cameras did minimal damage to the seafloor. Isaacs deep-sea camera system would be adopted by scientists across the world.
This series documents the Monster Camera projects and film output. Based on Isaacs' original organization, materials are identified using mission numbers. The inventories and logs can be used to identify the precise location and date of each drop. Materials date from 1964 to 1988, and are arranged in two subseries: A) Photographs and B) Films.
A) Photographs: Arranged by mission number, with inventories and logs at the beginning of the subseries.
B) Films: Arranged by mission number, with inventories and logs at the beginning of the subseries. Some films are also identified with an OTSC number in Isaacs' inventories, which he appeared to use as a secondary index code for his film collection. (The acronym OTSC remains unsolved; OTSC numbers do not necessarily correlate with missions or dates, and were not applied to all films, so they were not used as the primary organizational method here). Includes composite and related films in alphabetical order at the end of the subseries.
For more information on the Monster Camera project, see WRITINGS for a "Report on the analysis of photographs taken by the 'Monster Camera' during 1966 and part of 1967."

IMAGES

Scope and Content of Series

Series 13) IMAGES: Isaacs's papers include an assortment of prints, negatives, slides, and lantern slides (glass) documenting his research interests, materials for lectures, and some personal portraits and snapshots. Arranged in two subseries: A) Photographs: and B) Lantern Slides.
A) Photographs: This subseries contains prints, negatives, and transparencies. Materials are not arranged in any imposed order, but are simply grouped together by topic. Some subjects have extensive documentation, such as the Northern Gulf of California Study and the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) projects; others are just a few images in a single folder on a specific subject. There are also many folders of images documenting scientific instruments and their design, and two folders of portraits (some professional, some informal) of John Isaacs. The OSTP images are titled with their original folder labels and are maintained in the order in which Isaacs's originally kept them. Some of the titles may be inaccurate or incomplete; there is no available index to all of the OSTP images.
B) Lantern Slides: Contains glass slides, and some transparencies. Includes numbered and indexed slides, along with images from the North Pacific Studies, the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP), and wave attenuation studies. Index can be used to identify slides, with references to locations and dates taken. Arranged chronologically.
Also see LECTURES AND SPEECHES for lists of slides used, identified using Isaacs' indexing system.
