Atomic detonation of 27 kilotons on May 8, 1953 at the Atomic Energy Commission's Nevada Proving Ground.

At 2, 423 feet, the bomb detonated, although it was fifteen feet west and nine hundred and thirty seven feet south of its designated target. The estimated yield of the weapon was 30-36 kilotons, although it yielded twenty-seven kilotons.
