The wake produced by a Snap 10A reactor striking the water with its axis perpendicular to surface of the water was investigated. Based on tests performed on a similarly shaped missile, it is estimated that the cavity created by the nine-inch diameter, 175 pound reactor would exceed 22.9 in. in diameter and be greater than 17.9 ft in length before it collapsed; the reactor would be deeper than 17.9 ft and the cavity would extend to the surface. The duration of the cavity would exceed 233 msec. It is probable that the size and duration of the cavity resulting from the impact of the 16-inch diameter reactor would also exceed these dimensions.
