the detonation altitude was around 600 miles. I don't think we got any radiation but the guys involved in the air bursts around Christmas Island picked up some radiation. Our medical records were flagged for several years for signs of problems. A couple of years later I was riding around on nuclear subs and wore a dosimeter and my cumulative dosage wasn't exceptional.
