A total of 76 areas will be the pre-selected presumed targets and each of the areas may in¬ clude a number of cities or small comm unites. All of the nation’s other target areas have been assigned support roles in the execrise. In. addi¬ tion areas of up to 10,000 squre miles downwind from the at¬ tack cities, including rural communities, lie within the fallout pattern of the bomb blast and thus will be assumed to be in danger of radiological contamination. Radio stations will publicize the Conelrad drill in advance, warning listeners to expect the interruption of normal broad¬ casting to shut down and tune to 640 or 1240 on home radio !stts.
