Operation Totem
Operation Totem was a pair of British atmospheric nuclear tests which took place at Emu Field, South Australia on 15 October 1953. They followed the Operation Hurricane test of the first British atomic bomb, which had taken place at the Montebello Islands a year previously. The main purpose of the Totem trial was to determine the acceptable limit on the amount of plutonium-240 which could be present in a bomb.
