Category:Project Dribble

Project Dribble occurred in the Salmon Site in Lamar County, Mississippi. It was a joint effort of the United States Atomic Energy Commission and the United States Department of Defense and part of the larger Vela Uniform program.

Two nuclear tests were conducted as part of Project Dribble. The first test, known as the Salmon Event, occurred on October 22, 1964. It involved the detonation of a 5.3-kiloton device at a depth of 2,700 feet (820 m). The second test, known as the Sterling Event, occurred on December 3, 1966, and involved the detonation of a 380-ton device suspended in the cavity left by the previous test.

Further non-nuclear explosive tests were later conducted in the remaining cavity as part of the related Project Miracle Play.
