Brown Bear Back
From Chukchi
Sea Survey
SEATTLE, Wt — Sharp explo
sions over Portage Bay marked
the return Friday of a University
of Washington survey ship from
nuclear surveys in the Arctic.
The explosions weren’t nuclear.
The crew and scientists of the
University Oceanographic Survey
Ship Brown Bear were tossing
firecrackers over the stern to
celebrate their homecoming.
The Brown Bear had been at
sea since mid-July. A month of
that time she had spent in the
Chukchi Sea, between the Bering
Sea and the Arctic Ocean, chart
ing the way for what may be
America’s first harnessed use of
a nuclear blast for peaceful pur
poses.
For the second summer in a
row the Brown Bear had been
engaged in Operation Chariot.
The 17 scientists and 12 crew
men had been checking to see if
it will be safe to set off 460 kilo
tons of nuclear explosives and
blast a man-made harbor out of
the Alaskan coast at Cape Thomp
son, 250 miles north of Nome.
Will it be safe? The scientists
didn’t know.
All they knew was that they
have taken water samples and
ocean bottom samples and ana
lyzed animal life in waters sur
rounding Cape Thompson. The
Atomic Energy Commission will
have to study the Brown Bear re
port, along with those of other
scientific surveys, before it de
cides.
This was a coed cruise. There
were three women among the 17
scientists. Oceanographer Betty
Ann Morse was the only woman
who made the entire cruise. Back
ashore at the University, Miss
Morse gave the women’s view
point on the far north:
“Away from civilzation? No,
they just have a different type of
civilization up there. In some
ways maybe it’s better. The Es
kimo women? A lot of them pro
bably are happier than we are.
They have fewer problems. They
just go along from day to day.”
